Donny Osmond’s Touching Tribute to ‘Brother’ Ozzy Osbourne

Donny Osmond is one of the many who are paying tribute to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne after he passed away on Tuesday at the age of 76.

“Remembering my brother in music, Ozzy Osbourne. I’ve always looked back at this commercial we shot in ‘03 so fondly. The last time we spoke was backstage of Dancing with The Stars season 9, when he told me how much he loved the Osmond song, “Crazy Horses”…talk about crazy! Thank you for always bringing your authentic personality to everything you’ve touched. From Crazy Horses to Crazy Trains, Rest In Peace,” Osmond wrote on Instagram, including a video of the two appearing in a 2003  Super Bowl commercial for Pepsi Twist.

In the commercial, Osbourne is shocked to see his children turn into Donny and Marie Osmond, but it turns out it was just a dream… or in Osbourne’s case, a nightmare. He woke up and screamed to his wife, “Sharon! I dreamt the kids turned into the Osmonds!”

Osmond also appeared on the ninth season of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ which was the same season Osbourne’s daughter Kelly was on. Osmond came out on top, while Kelly placed third.

Yungblud Details What Ozzy Osbourne Meant to the Music Industry

Yungblud posted a photo of himself alongside Osbourne, expressing his sadness over his passing.

“I didn’t think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room.  But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don’t. I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure – an adventure that started it all,” Yungblud wrote on Instagram. “I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.”
