He was 73 years old when he died of a stroke on January 1.
On the day that Wayne Osmond would have been 74 years old, Donny Osmond paid respect to him.
Donny put up a touching message and pictures of himself and his brother or sister on Instagram on Thursday, August 28.
"I found Wayne's stage outfit from the 1970s and gave it back to him. Little did I know that it would become one of my favorite memories of our last time together." Thank you for your birthday, brother. Wayne, have a great birthday. "Thank you so much for the time we spent together and the bond we'll always have. ❤️," Donny, 67, wrote in the post's caption.
Wayne, who was in The Osmonds from the beginning, died on January 1 at the age of 73.
At the time, Wayne's brothers shared the sad news of his death on social media, saying that he had died of a stroke.
The calm death of my dear brother Wayne was caused by a stroke. "I'm so thankful that I was able to see him in the hospital before he died," Donny wrote on Instagram at the time.
"Wayne made everyone who knew him happy, made them laugh, and loved them, especially me." "Everyone loved him and thought the best of everything," Donny said.
"There was never a man I knew who was more humble." A man with no tricks at all. Another person who was quick to forget and could love everyone he met no matter what," Merrill wrote.
Wayne began singing when he was younger, with his older brother Alan and his younger brothers Merrill and Jay. They were in a barbershop trio.
Some people heard the Osmond brothers singing at Disneyland in 1961, and they went on to become regulars on The Andy Williams Show. In the end, sisters Marie and Donny and my brother Jimmy joined the group.
In 1971, when "One Bad Apple" came out, it put The Osmond at the top of the charts. The song was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. Even though they never officially broke up, by 1980, most of the members had gone their different ways.
Wayne married Kathlyn White, who had been a beauty queen, in 1974, and the two of them had five children together.
