Alan Osmond took his last breathe with those nearest and dearest to his heart by his side.
The oldest member of The Osmonds family music group died at age 76 on Monday night, April 20, with his heartbroken wife of more than 50 years, Suzanne, and their eight sons surrounding his bedside.
According to a Salt Lake City news outlet, Alan passed away at 8:30 p.m. local time. While his cause of death has not yet been confirmed, he endured a yearslong battle with multiple sclerosis after being diagnosed with the neurological autoimmune disease in 1987.

Alan’s sad death comes 40 years after he retired from performing with The Osmonds after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Alongside his brothers Merrill, Wayne, and Jay, Alan helped write and compose the musical group’s top hits — including “One Bad Apple,” “Crazy Horses,” and “Are You Up There?”

Alan is survived by his wife, Suzanne, whom he tied the knot with in 1974, sons Michael, Nathan, Doug, David, Scott, Jon, Alex, and Tyler, 30 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
He is also survived by brothers Virl, Tom, Merrill, Jay, Donny and Jimmy, as well as his sister, Marie.
Alan’s parents, George and Olive Osmond, and his brother Wayne, had died prior to his passing.
