For almost 30 years, Olivia Newton-John lived under the shadow of breast cancer before her death from the advanced disease. The Grease icon was just 73 when she died on Monday, August 8 after the cruel illness returned for a third time. Her beloved husband John Easterling was by her side and announced the sad news to the world, hailing his wife as a "symbol of triumphs and hope".
Before meeting John and tying the knot in 2008, Olivia was involved in a nine-year on-off romance with cameraman Patrick McDermott, who mysteriously went missing at sea. The 48 year old - who met Olivia after her 1995 divorce from first husband Matt Lattanzi - disappeared without a trace on an overnight fishing trip with 22 other people on June 30, 2005.
When the boat docked on dry land, there was no sign of McDermott, although it would take another week for anyone to notice he had gone. It was only when he missed a family event on July 6 that friends became worried, and he was officially reported missing on July 11.
