Wayne Osmond, of the legendary family group The Osmonds, has died, aged 73. He died on New Year’s Day surrounded by his wife and five children after suffering a stroke.
Born in Ogden, Utah, Wayne was the fourth of nine siblings and started his musical career as a boy in a barbershop quartet with his brothers. It eventually expanded into the global sensations of the 1970s with hits like One Bad Apple and Love Me For A Reason.
A dedicated family man and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Wayne was always an optimistic man filled with faith. He is truly missed by his family and his fans around the world as his memory and legacy of music, love, and joy will go on and live in the hearts of many.
He is survived by his wife, Kathlyn; their five children; and his siblings, all of whom remain in one accord to celebrate his great life and works.
