The Osmonds singer Alan Osmond paid tribute to his wife Suzanne Pinegar Osmond in one of his final Instagram posts before he died.
The legendary musician died aged 76 after battling the chronic autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis for four decades.
He passed away with Suzanne and their eight sons, Michael, Nathan, Douglas, David, Scott, Jon, Alex, and Tyler, at his bedside.
The 1970s pop sensation shared a sweet smiling selfie with Suzanne - who he married in 1974 - in one of his last ever social media posts before his death.
The couple posed with their heads together outside a church, thought to be in Utah where they lived.
Alan shared a Bible verse about “repentance” in the caption of the photo, which was shared in July 2025.
It read: “He that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing - unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance” (Alma 26:22).”
The couple were understood to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often referred to as the Mormon Church.
Alan’s daughter-in-law Annie, who is married to his son Scott, commented on the post: “Aww I love this photo, Papa!”
Fans also flooded the comments with their support, with one writing, “Such a beautiful couple,” and another adding: “Lovely photo of you both.”
Alan and Suzanne were thought to have lived on “Osmond Lane” in Orem, Utah, where they raised their eight sons.
The couple wrote children’s books together and spoke at groups about their values in raising children and family life.
They also co-founded and ran the OneHeart Foundation, a non-profit charity dedicated to strengthening families and supporting orphans. In 2021, they were honored as Pillars of Utah Valley.
Alan’s death was announced on Monday morning. His cause of death has not been revealed but he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987.
His family said in a moving statement: "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 rose to fame on The Andy Williams Show, singing as a barbershop quartet with brothers Alan, Wayne - who died in January 2025 - Merrill and Jay.
Their younger siblings Jimmy and Donny later joined and the group became The Osmonds, enjoying global stardom as teen pop heartthrobs in the 1970s with hits like One Bad Apple and Love Me for a Reason.
Alan was a major songwriter and composer in the group and helped write some of The Osmonds’ hits, including One Bad Apple and the critically acclaimed Crazy Horses.
Donny later left the group to go solo and attained new levels of fame.
In the 1980s, the original quartet reunited and went on tour - but Alan was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987.
It is a chronic autoimmune disease which impacts the central nervous system, brain, and spinal cord, and often leaves patients unable to move.
Discussing his diagnosis, he said: "I was on stage and couldn’t raise my right hand. I trusted my Heavenly Father. You have to have opposition in life - this was my test."
As he battled the condition, he was encouraged by his mother’s motto: "I may have MS, but MS does not have me!"
Alan left the group in 2007 and his brothers went on to have solo careers.
He and his brother Merrill founded the Stadium of Fire in Provo, Utah, a major Fourth of July celebration.
The singer published his memoir, One Way Ticket, in 2024. He is survived by Suzanne, their eight sons, 30 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
