SALT LAKE CITY — Alan Osmond, the eldest member of the famed Osmond Brothers, has passed away at the age of 76, as confirmed by various reports.

Local Utah news outlets KSL, Fox 13, and KUTV have all reported that a representative for the Osmond family confirmed his passing. The spokesperson mentioned that Alan’s wife, Suzanne, along with their eight sons, were present at his bedside in their Orem residence.

Born on June 22, 1949, in Ogden, Utah, Alan was the oldest among the performing Osmond siblings. He had two older brothers who were hearing impaired, but it was Alan and three of his siblings who captured national attention with their debut on “The Andy Williams Show,” a popular NBC variety series, back in 1962.

The Osmonds became a household name in the 1970s, delivering chart-topping tracks such as “One Bad Apple,” “Down By the Lazy River,” and “Love Me For a Reason.” According to Billboard, they amassed 10 Top 40 hits and four that reached the Top 10.

Alan Osmond was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987, which led him to retire from his performing career.
