Alan Osmond, the eldest member of The Osmonds, passed away at 76. He died at home surrounded by his wife, Suzanne, and their eight sons.
Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 40 years ago, Alan stepped back from performing with his family. Despite this challenge, he made a lasting impact on the music world. Along with his brothers, he created unforgettable hits like “One Bad Apple” and “Crazy Horses.” Their music helped The Osmonds become a global sensation.
Alan co-founded “Stadium of Fire,” a major annual Independence Day celebration in Provo, Utah. This event draws thousands, showcasing his deep connection to his community and his love for bringing people together.
He leaves behind his loving wife of 51 years, Suzanne, their sons—Michael, Nathan, Doug, David, Scott, Jon, Alex, and Tyler—30 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. He is also mourned by his brothers and sister. Earlier, he expressed a sense of peace about reuniting with his late brother, Wayne, saying, “We still have a lot of work to do together.”
Alan’s legacy goes beyond music. His commitment to family and community continues to inspire fans and those who knew him. As The Osmonds’ music is rediscovered by new generations, his contributions remain a significant part of pop culture history.
