Alan Osmond’s disease affected him and his ability to perform with his grandchildren. In an interview with NBC affiliate KSL in 2007, the singer shared that the symptoms prevented him from picking up a penny and holding my grandkids. However, his symptoms later improved, and he was able to join his family for their 50th anniversary special that same year.

Although the Osmonds did not specify a cause of death in their statement, they did mention the “senior performing member’s 40-year battle with multiple sclerosis. The family said the neurological disease caused the singer to retire from performing with the Osmond Brothers and other members of his family. 

The statement mentioned one of his statements, “Osmond’s mantra regarding the disease was always, ‘I might have MS, but MS doesn’t have me.” The official statement shared by his family further read, “His positive outlook was an inspiration to many, and he donated much of his time speaking at MS events, encouraging individuals like himself on how to mentally and physically deal with the advancement and treatment of the disease.”

Osmond’s wife, Suzanne Pinegar Osmond, took care of him throughout the years. They got married in 1974 and have eight sons. Undoubtedly, the singer’s absence will not only be felt by his family members but also by the global audience.
