Remembering the lost gems.

Olivia Newton-John will be honored at a state memorial service in her childhood city of Melbourne, Australia this month.

The memorial will take place at the Hamer Hall, Arts Centre Melbourne on Feb. 26, months after the actress’s death.

"Dame Olivia Newton-John was an inspiration to many around the world — her work in cancer research and treatment saved lives and changed lives and her music was the soundtrack to a generation," Daniel Andrews, Premier for the State of Victoria, said in a statement.

He added, "We know Victorians are eager to celebrate the life of a driving force in medical research and an icon of film and music, with a service befitting her international acclaim."

Newton-John lost her battle with breast cancer after 30 years back in August.

Fans can avail the limited tickets for the service for free, with the sale beginning on Feb. 10.

The event will feature special tributes from family and friends, along with a musical performance by Delta Goodrem.
