Grease took £280m at the box office worldwide, making it the highest-grossing movie musical of all time.

Since battling cancer in 1992, Olivia has dedicated much of her life to raising money for Breast Cancer Research.

She’s since raised millions for charity after donating proceeds from her album sales.

Olivia told : “I am grateful for the experience because without it I would not have done many of the things I have done in my life.

“It’s taught me compassion for those going through difficult times.”
