Pink pays tribute to Olivia Newton-John at 2022 AMAs
Hopelessly devoted to you!
Pink gave an emotional performance at the 2022 American Music Awards (AMAs) in honour of the late Dame Olivia Newton-John.
Olivia passed away in August at the age of 73 after a long battle with cancer. The singer and actress is known for her iconic role as Sandy in the 1978 classic, 'Grease'.
Pink sang 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' at the AMAs live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Olivia recorded the song for the 'Grease' soundtrack. It became one of the musical's biggest songs.
It has been five years since Pink appeared at the awards show, and the 'So What' hitmaker was honoured to return to the AMA stage for a special tribute.
"I have the honor of celebrating the life of a legend, gone too soon- Dame Olivia Newton-John. She was an icon with a beautiful voice and an even bigger presence, always kind. I look forward to honoring her," the 43-year-old wrote on Instagram.

Pink also performed her new single, 'Never Gonna Not Dance Again', earlier in the show.
She attended the AMAs with her husband, Carey Hart, and their two children, Willow Sage and Jameson Moon.
"The kiddos and myself supporting mama @pink on the red carpet!!! The kids and I were sitting back while mama was doing an interview. I saw a band that I recognized (which doesn’t happen very often) and I said to willow, “look it’s BST”. She just laughed and shook her head at me. I’m old," Carey captioned a picture from their family night out.
