Olivia Newton-John is making music waves nine months after her death. 

The 'Grease' star's estate has released a posthumous album with the help of some of her friends. 

Olivia passed away in August last year after losing a long battle with breast cancer. She was 73.  

The singer-actress was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992. Her cancer returned in 2013 and again in 2017.

"Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer. Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer," her husband, John Easterling, said in a statement

She might be gone, but she won't be forgotten. Olivia's legacy lives on through her music. 

Her new album, 'Just The Two of Us: The Duets Collection', features duets with her close friend Dolly Parton.

They sing Dolly's 1973 classic, 'Jolene'.

Dolly said she has always wanted to work with Olivia. 

"My first memory of Olivia was when her song 'Let Me Be There' was a hit. I have loved her ever since. We had many occasions that we got to share together, either backstage or performing on the same shows, and I loved every moment that I ever got to spend with her. I've always been inspired by her grit, tenderness, willingness, and determination," the country star said in a statement, according to PEOPLE

Olivia's 17-track album also features several unreleased duets, including one with Mariah Carey and Grammy-winner Jon Secada. 

John Travolta, who starred with Olivia in 'Grease', sings on the duet 'Take a Chance', while the late singer's daughter Chloe Lattanzi appears on 'Window in the Wall'.
