TEARS AND TRIBUTE. In Melbourne that night, the air felt heavier than usual — the kind of quiet that comes when people gather to honor someone they all loved. Sir Cliff Richard stepped up to the microphone, trying to steady his voice, but you could see the emotion sitting right behind his eyes. He spoke about Olivia Newton-John the way only a true friend could. Soft. Honest. A little broken. “She brought light to every room she entered,” he said… and for a moment, it felt like she was right there again. As old clips of their performances glowed behind him, the crowd didn’t cheer — they just stood, wiping their faces, holding the moment gently. It didn’t feel like a farewell. It felt like two friends meeting in the music one more time.
