LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – 8 News Now’s Donny Osmond week continues as the Las Vegas entertainment anchor talks to Heather Mills about his family and his love for life.
Osmond has been a part of Las Vegas for so long, he almost feels like family to many of us. He told 8 News Now it was his real family who kept him grounded.
“You’re part of this community that’s been through a lot. What does that mean to you?” Heather Mills asked him.
“Well, I’ve seen this town, kind of like my career, with its ups and downs, in between. I’ve seen this town when it was considered a ghost town for entertainers,” he said.
Certainly not in 2022, when Las Vegas remains the entertainment capital of the world.
“The beauty of Las Vegas right now is that it’s better than ever,” he said. “When you ask me about the importance of Las Vegas, it really is the elite of show business.”
Osmond is an extraordinary entertainer who has done it all, and now he is getting accolades for his solo performances and long-term residency at the Harrah’s Las Vegas hotel and casino. While he remains a showbiz icon, he says his family keeps him grounded.
“My wife and I love being Nevadans now,” Osmond said. “When I get home, I take out the trash, mow the lawn, that sort of thing.”
Osmond also spoke about his wife of 44 years, recalling the moment he said he knew she was the one.
“I was dating a girl named Tammy and Jay was dating my wife Debbie. We went to Elton John’s concert. When Elton sat down…he was singing ‘You song,” he said. “I remember looking at my brother’s date and thinking I’d marry that girl one day, but about two weeks after that date, we switched.”
Osmond says it’s all about balance, because for him, his family still comes first.
“We just had our 13th grandchild. So, life is good and I don’t want to lose it.”
