Marie Osmond, who had a ‘different relationship to her brother’, reveals his last words to her before dying

There’s a line in the Osmond family’s latest tributes that hits differently — and it doesn’t fully reveal its weight until you understand who they’ve lost.

Leaves behind 30 grandchildren

Alan Osmond, the eldest brother of the famous singing family and a key force behind their rise to global stardom, died on on April 20.

His passing at 76 marks another painful chapter for a family already grieving the loss of brother Wayne just a year earlier. According to reports, Alan left this world surrounded by his wife of 51 years, Suzanne, and his eight sons: Michael, Nathan, Doug, David, Scott, Jon, Alex, and Tyler.

He also leaves behind 30 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
