Star of the original Hollywood smash hit Grease, talented superstar Olivia Newton-John performs an inaugural concert in Seattle's newest performance venue - McCaw Hall at Seattle Center on September 29 (date rescheduled from August 27). In addition to stellar performances in film, Olivia Newton-John has achieved countless musical successes - four Grammy's, numerous Country Music Awards, American Music Awards, Peoples Choice Awards, an Emmy Award, and five #1 hits including "Physical."

Olivia's public appeal has proved to be equally timeless. Her career has spanned more than three decades and she is still a vibrant, creative individual that is adored by fans across the world. Her other achievements include host of the popular internationally syndicated "Wild Life" television show, was bestowed an O.B.E. (Order of The British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth, Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Environment Program, and founder of the Colette Chuda Environmental Fund/CHEC (Children's Health Environ-mental Coalition) after the death of her daughter's best friend from a rare childhood cancer.

In the early 90's, Olivia successfully overcame her own battle with breast cancer, which inspired her self-penned and produced album, "GAIA," her most personal album reflecting upon her experiences with cancer. She speaks openly about her battle with breast cancer and for promoting public awareness of the importance of early detection.

Last year, Olivia was inducted into the prestigious Australian Music Hall of Fame at the 16th Annual Aria Awards. Her current CD, recorded in 2002, simply titled, "2," was recorded in Australia and features a host of talented Ozzies along with a couple of her American friends who are honorary Ozzies!
