From his days as a child singer with his brothers the Osmonds, to becoming a massive teen idol and his incredible comeback in the 1980s, Donny has been through it all.
Donny is back in the UK this autumn with a national tour, fresh from his hugely popular Las Vegas residency.
In a revealing chat, Donny talks about his amazing career, what it meant to be a teen idol, his friendships with Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, signing an autograph for Paul McCartney, and much more.
He was even treated to a surprise for a 'special' performance of 'Puppy Love'!
Speaking about being a teen idol in the early 1970s, Donny opened up about how the song and that era wrecked his career for a while, but how he has learned to embrace it now.
What a down-to-earth, genuine man. He shouldn't be ashamed of anything he ever did, including Puppy Love. It was all fantastic.
Not many people know but the children's miracle network was created by Mrs osmond his mother I think the family is still ceo's. They never have boasted about it
I'm just a few years younger than Donny...growing up in the 70s I loved the Osmonds...had all the albums and 45s. You don't associate the word 'integrity' with many stars these days...Donny, you're a Class act.
Puppy Love song went wild in the 70s. That was the biggest hit for Osmonds and all the young girls was crazy infatuated in love with Donny. They believe Donny was singing to them. Hey wonderful memories now. I was one of the girls that loved watching the Osmonds on tv and got all their hits. Great family! The fans later died down but now picked up just as well. Donny never be ashamed of the songs you sang. They all worked well. In life there is a time for good and bad and we all go through it but yours was exposed because your in the public but I always liked your singing, back to still do! You and your family are wonderful entertainers. Thank you for the fun music, dancing, great memories and still love hearing your songs. God be with you and he has! Everyone is back to loving you❤ Donny don't follow the world but part yourself from the worldly stuff and follow God. You will be fine and you are.
I’ll be 64 in August, Grew Up listening to Donny and the Brothers. Still do to this day. Along with all the other music from the 50’s, 60’s, And 70’s .
Donny still melts my heart 💜
He is incredibly inspiring. You cannot find that professionalism or work ethic these days. What a great example of a human being ❤
He sure is D T. Kind regards from a fan from Holland. Still going strong imho. Karin for you🍀🌼🌷💜🎶✌👍🤗
The music industry was so cruel to him
@@lindyfrank5342you are right about the cruelty of the record companies, but now Donny is having the last laugh, still being very successful and loved xx😊
Amen to that
Been a fan since 1972. He's the best,
It's crazy, but I think his voice has gotten better as he's gotten older! With most singers It's the opposite, but not Donny! ❤
I had a FEVERED crush on Donny Osmond when I was a young girl. I even had a pink metal lunchbox with him and his brothers on it, which I loved so much.
Love Donny, no air and graces. Good fun and I love his stories.
What a wonderful person and family 🎉 with a work ethic second to none.
I remember when my station played Soldier of Love anonymously - and i KNEW it was Donny. I even said to my kids - "I think that's Donny Osmond" IDK how I knew. must have spoken to my heart :)
Donny Osmond is cool! That song 'Crazy Horses' flat out rocks, that riff...priceless.
I had such a giant crush on Donnie back in the day. Singing to that precious Pomeranian melted my heart! I also had a white one, for 18 years. A puppy should always be held while he sings that song!
Donny Osmond is a very talented and handsome guy ❤ 14:39

I have sooo much respect for Donny. I not only see him for the superstar he is. Also fot the most genuine compassionate person he is. A true example a good human being
I loved him so much and I still do. 🎉 Love you Donnie ❣️😚.
That was one of my favorite songs from Donny. ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
i was born in the late 60s. The Osmonds were huge in the 70s but became uncool in the eighties. I look at him today and think what a great guy he is.
Love Donny and Michael 💜
Great interview…Love Donny!!💜💜
Have loved him for 53 years!
Thank you Donny for all the hard work and dedication to the establishment everything was from your humble ❤
I can't wait to see you this September 7th. I love you so much Donny.
I hope I do not get too nervous when, I do see you.
Let's not forget this man is a grandfather!
Oh what a lucky puppy💜
can't wait, to view this. I was born, 1960 so, remember, well, all those '70s hits. If I have to pick a fave, not too difficult: "Love Me, For A Reason." Then, voila, he re-emerges, in the '80s, with "Soldier of Love." I bought that single, as soon as it arrived, at my local record store.
I Love You Donny!
You are my best Babelious/Hunklious

Puppy Love, I remember being dumped by a girl and crying my eyes out when I heard this on radio. I think I was 10 years old.

I cant dance I saw that tour that was a good one! I borrowed a long green jacket from my friend and her name will be anonomous but who I know I love that song too but I did not buy it but maybe it was for family
Go Away Little Girl co-killed it...
a train from Scotland to London?! was Probably longer than the flight from the states
I recently heard Puppy Love on the 70s channel. I thought it was Marie Osmond singing. 😅
Puppy Love was the song that drove two beloved disk-jockeys to leave pop radio and go to a country station. Leo and Woody Windham 1972
Now you know how Elvis felt
Heavy Metal Puppy Love?????? I really wanna hear that,lol
you say happy birthday to peeps its okay I liked peter noone too he came b4 too to Rockford yup.
we blend what song my sister said dont say it I wont but casino
How is Jimmy doing?
Looks very different
I never left you, Donny. In the lien years I still supported you because I never got caught up in the teen idol stuff. I appreciated your talent & music. It saddens me to hear you degrade the "Disco Train" album as the worst album of all-time. That album contains my favorite solo record of yours, "C'mon Marianne". The irony is you earlier shared the story about someone confronting you about degrading "Puppy Love". Well, the same goes for the "Disco Train" album. Your brothers worked hard on that album and even though it is a product for that time, it doesn't diminish how much people enjoyed it then. I still give it a spin to this day occasionally, especially the single mentioned earlier. But I know street cred requires finding something to destroy about your past. So I do understand.
I don't believe puppy love killed his career. I think it made him also made his career
😀Always a dream my husband be like what? well you know hahahahahahahahah love you and oh DIANE my sister hey she smoke and Dana we know you rock the boat no I did too but alas man there were a bunch we danced too and hey remember that yoyo song yeah black and white and diane was milk carton and dana a flower and well that was up north wisconsin Tom was a wee little boy and I sang I am a poor wayfaring stranger. Maybe you dont remember cause you were a bambino brohan TOM and Jesse still me husband and thanks women can be funny thank you thank you very much for the bro in laws too and the sis in law family all sides
Ah, caray! Pensé que era el hijo negado de Julio Iglesias! Ja ja ja.
M
Got you beat.....I STILL hate it!
I don't think it killed his career, hes fans where ageing along with him and he needed a new style in the late seventies, but he was doing the Donny and Marie shows. I personally, found the show childish.
Why did you choose to destroy me?
Puppy Love IS NOT YOUR SONG, it was written in 1960 and recorded by Paul Anka for Annette Funicello
It IS HIS SONG for a generation.
The song was a bit sappy...
Donny Osmond is a very talented and handsome guy ❤ 14:39
