Marie Osmond is opening up about her last moments with brother Alan Osmond, who died Monday, April 20, at 76.
The singer shared her older brother's final words, revealing Alan Osmond was looking forward to being reunited with their brother Wayne Osmond, who died on New Year's Day 2025.

"That's my brother Alan!! I love you so very much and will miss you dearly."
