A second Osmond Brother has died today......
The iconic band's founding brother and guitarist died on Monday following a 40-year battle with multiple sclerosis (MS) while surrounded by his nearest and dearest, the family announced in a statement.
The statement read: 'His positive outlook was an inspiration to many, and he donated much of his time speaking at MS events, encouraging individuals like himself on how to mentally and physically deal with the advancement and treatment of the disease.'
Alan, who shares eight children with wife Suzanne Pinegar, found fame while performing with his siblings on The Andy Williams Show in the 60s.
His singing career began in a barbershop quartet with his brothers Wayne, Merrill and Jay, when he was 12. They were later joined by their younger brother Donny.
