Osmonds return to stage after death of Marie’s son
LAS VEGAS — Marie Osmond has returned to her Las Vegas Strip show, saying singing is the way her family is coping with the death of her 18-year-old son.
The Donny & Marie show at the Flamingo Las Vegas hotel resumed Tuesday night, one day after the siblings attended a family funeral for Marie’s son Michael Bryan.
Marie Osmond dedicated an opera song to Bryan, whom she called her “angel.”
Police in Los Angeles have said Bryan died of an apparent suicide after jumping from the eighth floor of an apartment building. Autopsy and toxicology results are pending.
Police say Bryan left a note but have provided no details about its contents.
Bryan previously used his adoptive father’s last name, Blosil, but Utah court records show his name was legally changed.
