Olivia Newton-John celebrated 40 years of her musical movie Xanadu with an impromptu performance of the US No. 1 hit Magic.
Olivia starred in the fan-favourite film as Kira, who is known for her big vocals and incredible roller skating skills, and performed a number of iconic tracks including the UK chart-topping title track.
The singer/actress took to Instagram this week to share a video clip of her singing Magic from her home, as she gushed: “What an amazing song!
“That song from Xanadu, that I can’t believe is 40 years old, where did the time go? But for me, the experience has never changed. The experience for me was life-changing.”
The star took a moment to say how grateful she has always been for the opportunity to work on Xanadu’s set, and gave a special thank you to her co-stars, producers, directors, and more.
The influence of the movie is being seen more than ever in the recent resurgence of disco. Check out some of the many references in Kylie’s new Say Something video here.
