The singer died at hospital after a ‘massive stroke’, making him the first of the hugely successful group to pass away

Wayne Osmond, the smooth baritone of pop group the Osmond Brothers and later the Osmonds, has died at the age of 73. Osmond died at a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, after a “massive stroke”, according to his brother Merrill Osmond.

“I’ve never known a man that had more humility,” Merrill Osmond wrote on Facebook. “A man with absolute no guile. An individual that was quick to forgive and had the ability to show unconditional love to everyone he ever met.”
