Donny Osmond, who found galactic success as a teen heartthrob in the 1970s, is as busy today as he was five decades ago.
In 2019, the 66-year-old man ended an 11-year Las Vegas residency with his sister Marie and returned to Harrah’s Hotel and Casino, headlining his first solo residency, which he resumes in the fall of 2024.
After stepping on the stage for the show, where he takes audiences on a “dynamic, energy-filled musical journey of his unparalleled life,” Osmond flies out to the UK for a limited run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
The TV host wowed live theatre audiences with his performance as Joseph in the hit musical that ran from 1992 to 1998, and this time, he’s taking on the role of Pharaoh.
“I always knew I would return to ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,’” Osmond said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter). “Having starred as Joseph in over 2,000 performances in this magical musical, I am now ready to channel my inner Elvis and assume the role of Pharaoh in Edinburgh starting this December [2024].”
But before any of that happens, he’s spending the summer, taking the “Direct from Las Vegas” show to venues across North America.
Giant peacock
With a packed schedule that keeps him from the large family he built with wife Debra (married in 1978), the musician carves out time to spend with his five sons and 14 grandchildren.
Speaking with People, Osmond earlier explained that regardless of how busy he is, family always comes first.
“That’s what balances my life out. Family is the most important thing, because the curtain will come down eventually, and then what do you have?”
Offering fans a glimpse into how he spent the days leading up to his tour, Osmond – who was disguised as a peacock in the first season of Masked Singer – shаrеd an image on his Instagram, where he’s seen in the pool with the grandchildren and a giant inflatable peacock.
He captions the post, “Enjoying a final swim at home with my grandkids before the long US summer tour begins this Friday in Milwaukee. By the way, thanks to Sue Pearson from Leeds in the UK who gave me that inflatable peacock during my tour over there. We’ve had so much fun with it. Speaking of fun, I’ll see you all real soon on my US summer tour.”
Osmond’s loyal followers jumped into the comments section praising the family man, as well as sharing their excitement over his tour.
One netizen writes, “So this is how you stay looking young Donny, your happiness and precious family makes you smile, and that is why you’re always happy on stage.” A second, gushing over the kids, shаrеs: “What a beautiful pictures of you and your grandbabies. Can’t wait to see you [in] Louisville.”
“Can’t wait for this summer tour. Rest up…what is it 41 venues? Wow! Donny What a historic US Tour. So exciting! See you in Connecticut,” adds a third.
Meanwhile, some fans zoned in on the peacock and referenced it to his appearance on Masked Singer. “Love the peacock…you should have won!!!!” one writes.
If you haven’t yet figured out what a peacock and Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat have in common, they both are costumes worn by this legendary singer!

Addressing Health Issues: The Smith Family’s Wellness Journey
The well-known Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, their kids Jaden and Willow, and Jada’s mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris were among the Smith family members who recently went on “Red Table Talk” to discuss some health issues they’ve been having. Their sincere conversation illuminates the significance of wellbeing and health, an issue that affects all of us.
Putting Jaden’s health first
Jaden, who is 21 years old, talked about his serious stomach problems in the episode. He emphasized the importance of putting his health first above all else, even if he received backlash after switching to a vegan diet. Anyone who is afraid to ask for help due to concerns about the opinions of others can find encouragement in Jaden’s bravery in sharing his troubles.
Nutritional Modifications for Optimal Health
The family sought advice from prominent specialists Dr. Mark Hyman and nutritionist Mona Sharma in order to address Jaden’s health issues. Dr. Hyman determined that eating the incorrect kinds of food was the root of Jaden’s problems. To treat any inadequacies, he recommended particular dietary adjustments and supplements.
They took action to remove dairy and gluten from Jaden’s diet after it was found that they were making his condition worse. Taking care of his vitamin and omega-3 deficiencies also became critical given his vegetarian diet. Jaden was certain that following these dietary changes would have a major positive impact on his health, enabling him to carry on motivating people.
An Unsettling Event and Required Adjustments
Jaden’s drastic diet back in September had worrying results. He was clearly feeling under the weather, and he freely acknowledged it. His family was quite concerned and took quick action when he was hospitalized in Australia owing to nausea and dizziness.
Inspirational Path to Wellbeing
The Smiths have always been open about their experiences with physical and mental health. Will recently talked about a significant experience he had—having a colonoscopy. A polyp was found and removed during the surgery, highlighting the importance of routine health checkups.
Will underlined that although adopting a healthier lifestyle could be difficult at first, there are priceless long-term advantages. They want to inspire others to take control of their health and promote lifespan and well-being by sharing their own experiences.
The Smith family’s open conversation on “Red Table Talk” demonstrates how proactive they are in addressing health-related issues. By being transparent and sharing their journey to wellness, they hope to encourage everyone to put their health first and lead a long and healthy life.
