by

Pink showed her hopeless devotion to the late great Olivia Newton-John with a special performance at the 2022 American Music Awards on Sunday.

After opening the ceremony with the energetic debut of her new single “Never Gonna Not Dance Again,” Pink returned to the AMAs stage later in the show for a tribute to Newton-John, who died in August at age 73 years old.

Introduced by Melissa Etheridge, Pink delivered an emotional rendition of “Hopelessly Devoted to You”, the Fat ballad made iconic by Newton-John in the 1978 film.

Newton-John has had a long and successful history at the American Music Awards. The “Physical” singer has won 10 AMAs during her career, including four Favorite Pop/Rock Artist trophies in 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1982. She was nominated for three additional awards.
