Apart from her retro-fied performance of her new single, "Never Gonna Not Dance Again," Pink has delivered a touching performance of a classing song from the late Olivia Newton-John.
Performing the "Grease" hit "Hopelessly Devoted To You," Pink proved that she was the perfect person to honor the music icon in a moving tribute.
Succumbing to cancer earlier this August 2022, Newton-John surely left a void in the music industry as she was highly regarded as one of the best-selling recording artists in the world.
Donning a bedazzled dress, Pink brought the house down with her soulful and powerful rendition of the classic hit.
As Pink sang the song, a montage of Olivia Newton-John's photos flashed on the screen, commemorating her impact on the entertainment industry.
Introducing Pink for the performance is rockstar Melissa Etheridge, who also paid the "Physical" hitmaker a touching and memorable tribute.
"You stood in awe of her welcoming beauty, and you basked in the feeling that she was connecting to you alone. But when she opened her mouth to sing you knew instantly, you'd have to share her with the world," she said. "As her tens of millions of fans will attest, to hear her sing - whether live at a theater or up on the silver screen - was to feel the power of art to transform the feelings we all have of love, of elation, and disappointment into something sublime."
As for Pink, this is actually not the first time she has honored the music icon in her own way.
Shortly after Olivia Newton-John's death, she took to Instagram and shared with her 9 million followers the moments she shared with her.
"I met her maybe three times- and she was an absolute angel.
One of the loveliest, kindest, light from within human beings I have ever met. Kindness personified. May she Rest In Peace and may her family be held in love and light during this difficult time," she said at the time.
Olivia Newton-John died last Aug. 8, 2022, at 73 years old, in Santa Ynez, California. Announcing her death on Facebook, her family noted that she had been "a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer."
At the time, tributes from her "Grease" leading man John Travolta also trended online, including ones from Barbra Streisand and the Prime Minister of Australia, Newton-John's home country.
