The world of music is mourning the loss of Alan Osmond, the eldest performing member of the legendary Osmond family, who died at the age of 76.
Osmond passed away on April 20, 2026, at his home in Utah, surrounded by his wife, Suzanne, and their eight sons. His death brings to a close the life of one of the central figures behind one of America's most recognizable musical families.
For many people, the Osmonds are remembered for their polished harmonies, matching outfits, television appearances and enormous popularity during the 1960s and 1970s. But behind that familiar image was Alan Osmond, a brother who carried significant responsibility for the family's musical career and who helped guide the group through some of its most important years.
He was a performer, songwriter, producer, husband, father and deeply religious man. He was also a man who spent much of the latter part of his life confronting multiple sclerosis while continuing to encourage others through his example of perseverance and faith.
