Alan Osmond, Osmonds’ Eldest Star, Dies at 76

Alan Osmond, the eldest member and de facto leader of the 1970s family group the Osmonds, died at 76 in Salt Lake City after a long career that included chart-topping hits and his work as a writer/producer; he battled multiple sclerosis since 1987 and is survived by his wife Suzanne and eight children, with his brother Merrill sharing a heartfelt tribute after Wayne Osmond’s death earlier this year.
