Wayne Osmond Dead At 73

NEW YORK (AP) — Wayne Osmond, a singer, guitarist and founding member of the million-selling family act The Osmonds, has died. He was 73. Sibling Merrill Osmond posted on his Facebook page that Wayne died this week at a Salt Lake City hospital after suffering a “massive stroke.” Wayne Osmond was the second oldest of nine children raised in a Mormon household in Ogden, Utah. The siblings’ musical career began in the late 1950s when Wayne, Alan, Merrill and Jay formed a barbershop quartet. The Osmonds were known for such 1970s teen hits as “One Bad Apple,” “Yo-Yo” and “Down By the Lazy River.”
