Olivia Newton-John's final record released in collaboration with Dolly Parton ... trends now
The last ever song recorded by Olivia Newton-John has been released posthumously online, a week before she is honoured with a state funeral.
Newton-John died at her ranch in southern California in August last year aged 73.
The song is a duet of Dolly Parton's country hit Jolene, which she sang alongside Parton in an intimate studio recording session some time before her passing.
A music video released on YouTube on Saturday shows the pair clearly thrilled to be recording their vocals together.
'I am excited, I have always wanted to sing with Dolly,' Newton-John says in the video.

'We've always stayed close through the years and I'm so proud to be a part of this duet project.'
