We've got chills and no, they're not electrifying
Grease is a tale of young love, heartbreak and hickeys. We love everything about it (especially the soundtrack) and could watch it on loop forevermore.
John Travolta and Olivia Newton John stayed loyal to their promise of a reunion and met up to celebrate the 40th birthday of classic musical Grease at a swanky bash last night.
Sadly, it doesn't look like a second film is in the works (and yes, we are discarding the Michelle Pfieffer 'sequel').
But, according to this bizarre but completely plausible theory, a follow up film couldn't happen anyway - because Sandy is dead. (We know we know, but bear with...)
A Reddit user claims that Danny never saved Sandy, she drowned in the ocean and as a result dreamed up everything that happened in the remainder of the film. They went on to suggest the entire film was all a love story dreamed up by Sandy in her last moments.

Remember that Summer Lovin lyric "saved her life - she nearly drowned?". Hmmmmm.
The cynical user suggests: “Everything that happens in the last scene is just a little TOO perfect ...
"Danny and Sandy are back together despite everything, Rizzo SUDDENLY isn’t pregnant AND Kenickie suddenly decides that he actually loves her, the geeky kid gets onto the sports team, EVERYTHING is suddenly okay, just the way that sweet, innocent Sandy would have wanted it to be."
They went so far as to suggest that the flying car at the end was actually Sandy being carried up to heaven.
Another theory is that both Danny and Sandy are dead and “Grease” is just Danny's dream being played out before him.
The Reddit user wrote: "Danny tried to save a beautiful stranger from drowning but lost his own life as well in the process.”
They also suggest that the name Sandy was created because of the beach death.
"He envisions what his life would have been like if he had rescued her."

Despite these theories being around on Reddit for around five years, a lot of Grease fans have never come across them before and the news has sent some into complete meltdown:
What do you make of it all? Quite frankly, we can't cope and we're going to carry on the 40th birthday celebrations in ignorant bliss.
