Background

The tour helped to consolidate the pop image of Newton-John after her outburst as the protagonist of the movie Grease and its well-received album Totally Hot. To date is the last tour of Newton-John to visit Europe. John Farrar was involved in this tour as a producer but did not play with the band. Labi Siffre was her support act during the UK leg of the tour
