![WHY JOHN REALLY SKIPPED OLIVIA'S MEMORIAL WHY JOHN REALLY SKIPPED OLIVIA'S MEMORIAL](https://cdn.magzter.com/1417062475/1677797655/articles/3873HB-Oh1678166372763/WHY-JOHN-REALLY-SKIPPED-OLIVIAS-MEMORIAL.jpg)
Despite a muted lead-up to Olivia Newton-John's state funeral in Victoria last week, global superstars clamoured to be among those paying their respects to the Aussie icon.
From Dolly Parton and Eltor John to Pink and Nicole Kidman, there's no doubt Olivia, who died aged 73 last August at her California ranch after living with cancer for more than 30 years, would have been touched.
But there was one famous face missing from the stellar line-up - Olivia's Grease co-star John Travolta, who was a no-show despite reports that he was on the list of attendees.
Fans took to social media to express surprise that John, 69, not only failed to make the journey from his home in Florida to Melbourne, but also didn't offer condolences or memories at all.
