Alan Ralph Osmond (June 22, 1949 – April 20, 2026) was an American singer and musician. He was a member of the Osmonds singing family. Excluding Virl and Tom Osmond (the two eldest Osmond siblings, who were not members due to being hard of hearing), Alan was the oldest member of the Osmonds.
Alan was briefly in a relationship with Karen Carpenter.
In 1987, Alan was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[2] He said that his faith as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints helped him to cope with his condition.[3]
Osmond died at his home in Lehi, Utah, on April 20, 2026, aged 76. He spent a week in the hospital in intensive care before returning home for hospice care four days before he died.[4]
