Introduction

After Six Decades, Donny Osmond Refuses to Slow Down

Donny Osmond has spent more than 60 years in the limelight, conquering the charts, Broadway, television, and Las Vegas stages. At 65, he could easily rest on his legacy—but retirement isn’t in sight. His drive remains strong, with one goal fueling him: to break a record held by none other than Elvis Presley.

“I love what I do. Getting on stage is like my drug of choice,” Osmond told the Evening Standard before his 12-date UK tour this December. “I can see the tunnel’s end, but it’s still far away because I have so much left to accomplish. One of those things—maybe the most important—is reaching 68 albums. That way, I’ll surpass Elvis.”

Currently, that ambition is within reach. His 65th record, Start Again, came out in 2021, and he’s already laying the groundwork for the next one. Though still in the early stages, Osmond promises the project will offer fans something fresh, original, and creatively daring.

A Personal Bond with Elvis

Osmond’s mission to outdo the King of Rock ’n’ Roll goes beyond numbers. Elvis Presley held a special place in his family’s story. Donny’s mother, Olive, was a close friend to Presley, someone he leaned on during his meteoric rise.

“She was like a surrogate mother to him,” Osmond recalled with a grin. “He would call our home just to talk to her. Once, my brother Jay answered, and the voice on the other end said, [slipping into an Elvis impression] ‘Is your mother there?’ Jay asked, ‘Yeah, who’s calling?’ The reply: ‘This is Elvis.’ But Jay didn’t realize—it went right over his head. He just shouted, ‘Hey Mom, some guy named Elvis is on the phone!’”

Donny chuckled at the memory. “When Mom told me, we all laughed ourselves silly. Jay had no clue it was Elvis Presley on the line.”

From Vegas to London

This December, Osmond will take his award-winning Las Vegas residency overseas, with a UK tour that includes two nights at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. It will be his first time performing there since 2017, and he promises his most elaborate production yet.

“This show covers everything I’ve done—and that’s a lot,” he teased. Audiences can expect a career-spanning celebration: from the early days with The Osmonds, to his famous duets with sister Marie, to Broadway performances, solo hits, and more.

A fan-favorite highlight is his 15-minute request segment, where he takes spontaneous song requests without a setlist or teleprompter. For the UK run, Osmond plans to extend this portion, giving fans the chance to relive the soundtrack of their lives in real time.

Anchored by Family

Despite a packed performing schedule in Las Vegas, Osmond emphasizes that family comes first. He and his wife, Debbie—his partner of 45 years—have five sons and 12 grandchildren. Debbie will join him on the UK tour, something that makes the experience even more special.

“Family means everything to me,” Osmond said. “Between curtain calls, I love slipping back into my role as Grandpa.”

That role carries its own share of fun—especially since his 2019 appearance as “The Peacock” on The Masked Singer. “One of my grandsons, Truman, still calls me ‘the Peacock,’” Osmond laughed. “He won’t say Grandpa. It’s always, ‘Hey, Peacock!’ Looks like I’ll be the Peacock for the rest of my life—and I’m perfectly fine with that.”

Looking Forward

After a lifetime in show business, Donny Osmond still radiates the excitement of a newcomer. His upcoming UK tour isn’t a farewell, but rather a celebration—of endurance, reinvention, and the unbreakable connection he shares with his fans.
