Donny Osmond, who found galactic success as a teen heartthrob in the 1970s, is as busy today as he was five decades ago.
In 2019, the 66-year-old man ended an 11-year Las Vegas residency with his sister Marie and returned to Harrah’s Hotel and Casino, headlining his first solo residency, which he resumes in the fall of 2024.
After stepping on the stage for the show, where he takes audiences on a “dynamic, energy-filled musical journey of his unparalleled life,” Osmond flies out to the UK for a limited run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.’
The TV host wowed live theatre audiences with his performance as Joseph in the hit musical that ran from 1992 to 1998, and this time, he’s taking on the role of Pharaoh.
“I always knew I would return to ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,’” Osmond said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter). “Having starred as Joseph in over 2,000 performances in this magical musical, I am now ready to channel my inner Elvis and assume the role of Pharaoh in Edinburgh starting this December [2024].”
Speaking with People, Osmond earlier explained that regardless of how busy he is, family always comes first.
“That’s what balances my life out. Family is the most important thing, because the curtain will come down eventually, and then what do you have?”
And it seems like the singer has instilled the same values in his children. When Memorial Day weekend rolled around, the entire family, including his kids and grandchildren, made a trip to the burial site of Donny’s parents.
in the caption, he wrote, “A wonderful Memorial Day yesterday as we remember my wonderful parents. I miss my Mother and Father but I know we will be together again someday.”
Some fans immediately noticed something significant; how the Osmonds were visiting their family’s gravesites; something not a lot of people tend to do.
One fan wrote, “It’s nice that literally your whole family was there to pay respect. Many graves never have any visitors and that’s so sad. Love is something that some parents can’t show, because they were never shown it. Your parents showed all of you lots of love and you were lucky.”
While another added, “So many people don’t visit graves anymore. They use it as a 3 day weekend, get anyway. Just my siblings visit my parents graves, which we learned to do as children. It was a given.”
“Lovely to see the whole family there ❤️,” another fan simply commented.
