Marie Osmond Buries Her Son, Resumes Vegas Show With Donny
Marie Osmond is returning to the Las Vegas stage tonight, just one day after the funeral for her son, Michael Blosil. Services were held Monday in Provo, Utah -- the home of the famous Mormon family. According to TV's "Inside Edition," an estimated 300 friends and family members were in attendance to pay their respects to Blosil. Marie's brother Donny Osmond served as a pallbearer, carrying the coffin of his late nephew. He later broke down during temple services. "Inside Edition" also reported that Marie looked emotional throughout the memorial for her son, who leapt to his death from the eighth floor of his Los Angeles apartment on February 26th. He was just 18-years-old. A program at the service read, "Michael Bryan -- Beloved Son, Brother, and Friend."
Donny and Marie Osmond will take the stage at The Flamingo Showroom in Las Vegas tonight at 7:30 p.m. local time. Osmond Vegas show producer Chip Lightman said last week that he thinks, quote, "performing will help the healing process" for Marie. |
