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!

The health issues of Tom Selleck
One of the select few who has achieved success in Hollywood is Tom Selleck. He has a ton of talent and is fortunate to have lasted this long in the industry. Though many aspire to work in Hollywood, only a select few actually succeed. Tom Selleck stands out as one of the notable exceptions.
When he was selected to portray the lead in Magnum P. I. it was a big break for this performer. For the highly successful program, he was nominated for five Emmy Awards and even took home one in 1985.
Before he was well-known, he appeared in a few TV series and movies in modest roles. V. shows, participated in The Dating Game, and appeared in advertisements. It’s evident that the incident did not prevent him from accomplishing his goals, even though he now describes it as “humiliating and unpleasant.”
The most well-known work of Tom Selleck is Magnum P. Me and My Friends. His career did not start off well; he was kicked out of talent programs and refused jobs.
He persevered in spite of this, and eventually he was successful. Selleck claims that his success can be attributed to the fact that he waited until he was 35 to land a reputable position. As a result, he developed into an actor that audiences were ready to acknowledge as a leading man.
Tom Selleck has said that if Magnum P. I. hadn’t worked, he would have given up acting altogether. In an interview, he disclosed this and said that the employment opportunity presented itself right as he was about to give up on his acting career. Finally, I would want to thank Magnum P. Selleck for being able to continue his work in the field he loves.
Another reason why people adore Selleck is that he played Frank Reagan in the television series Blue Bloods. He has been playing this role since 2010, and it has been agreed to renew the show for a thirteenth season.
Selleck acknowledges that his back is compromised and that his body has suffered from performing most of his stunts over the years. He is also no longer as physically fit as he once was. Despite this, he remains one of Blue Bloods’ key stars and makes a substantial contribution to the show.
Film stunt work entails taking a risk. However, you do spend a lot of time sitting around. For example, you may need to take a few minutes to sit in your chair after doing a combat scene.
If you’re not with someone to keep you warm and stretched out, this could be taxing on your body. You may eventually get tired from all the unpredictable movement.
The actor works hard on his Ventura, California ranch and is committed to keeping himself healthy. He also wishes to impart his great passion of horses to his daughter.
Selleck and Jillie Mack are astonishingly married after 35 years of marriage. Selleck is very close to his family since he always puts them first.
In his 2012 account of leaving Magnum to raise a family, Selleck claimed that it took some time to get off the train. However, he made sure to mention that the ranch had assisted him in achieving balance in his life.
“We both thought it was the best place for our daughter to grow up in,” his wife went on. Best wishes are extended to Tom Selleck.
