Alan Osmond dies aged 76 after long illness

Alan Osmond, the eldest performing member and lead singer of The Osmonds, died on Monday aged 76, surrounded by his wife and their eight children. He had battled multiple sclerosis for decades, a condition that curtailed his public performances in later years. Osmond was a central voice during The Osmonds' 1970s commercial peak, and his death removes one of the family's original performing stars from public life.
