Marie Osmond is honouring her late brother Alan Osmond following his death at age 76, sharing a heartfelt tribute reflecting on their lifelong bond.

The singer took to social media to remember Alan, writing about the “years and years of memories” they shared as siblings and collaborators.

Alan, the eldest member of The Osmonds, died on April 20 in Utah, surrounded by his wife Suzanne and their eight sons.

In her tribute, Marie reflected on their unique relationship as the only sister among the Osmond brothers, recalling his leadership and influence within the family from an early age. She praised his creativity and dedication, both on stage and behind the scenes.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

She also shared deeply personal memories, including a poignant moment when Alan stood from his wheelchair to perform one final time with his brothers during her 2018 birthday concert in Hawaii, a moment she described as especially meaningful.

Alan had been living with multiple sclerosis for decades, a condition that ultimately led him to step back from performing, though he remained a central figure in the family’s legacy and philanthropic efforts.

Marie’s tribute also touched on faith and family, expressing peace in the belief that Alan has been reunited with loved ones, including their brother Wayne, who died in 2025.

Other family members, including Donny Osmond, have also shared tributes, remembering Alan as a guiding force, a loving brother and a key figure in shaping the success of The Osmonds.
