Wayne Osmond, a singer, guitarist, and founding member of the renowned family band The Osmonds, has passed away at the age of 73. He died this week at a Salt Lake City hospital following a massive stroke, according to his sibling Merrill Osmond. Wayne was known for his contributions to the Osmonds' success in the 1970s with hits like 'One Bad Apple,' 'Yo-Yo,' and 'Down By the Lazy River.'
LAS VEGAS - AUGUST 14: Entertainer Wayne Osmond performs at the Orleans Hotel & Casino August 14, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The members of the Osmond family have reunited to film a television special for PBS called, "The Osmond 50th Anniversary, starring The Osmond Brothers, with special guests Donny, Marie, and Jimmy," which is scheduled to air in the U.S. in March 2008.
Sibling Merrill Osmond posted on his Facebook page that Wayne died this week at a Salt Lake City hospital after suffering a “massive stroke.” Wayne Osmond was the second oldest of nine children raised in a Mormon household in Ogden, Utah. The siblings' musical career began in the 1950s when Wayne, Alan, Merrill and Jay sang as a barbershop quartet.
The Osmonds' popularity faded by the mid-1970s, although Donny and Marie Osmond both enjoyed successful careers as solo performers and as a brother-sister duo.
