GREASE star Olivia Newton John is coming to Bournemouth as part of her first UK tour for 35 years.

The 64-year-old singer will play the BIC Windsor Hall on March 11 next year, to mark her 40th year in the music industry.

The British-born star last performed in the UK during the Totally Hot World Tour in 1978. Olivia remains an icon in both movie and music history, having been honoured with four Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award and 10 number one hits including Physical.

In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in Grease catapulted Olivia into super-stardom. This film’s best-selling soundtrack featured the duets You’re The One That I Want and Summer Nights, with Travolta, as well as her mega-hit, Hopelessly Devoted To You.

To date Grease remains the most successful movie musical in history.

Her other feature film credits include Tomorrow and Xanadu.

Tickets are on sale now.
