Alan Osmond Dies at 76

The music world is mourning the loss of Alan Osmond, the creative force behind some of the Osmond Brothers' biggest hits.

As the eldest of the performing siblings, Alan was instrumental in the group's transition from a barbershop quartet to international pop superstardom.

His brothers, including Donny and Merrill, paid emotional tribute to him, describing Alan as their 'protector' who carried much of the family's responsibility.

Alan's legacy includes co-writing classics like 'One Bad Apple' and 'Crazy Horses,' as well as producing several of the group's multi-platinum albums.
