Donny Osmond is celebrating six decades in show business with a UK-wide tour this December. The legendary singer, dancer and actor will be bringing all the glitz and glamour of his Las Vegas show to arenas across the country.

It’s been six years since Donny last toured in the UK and 50 years since he first touched down here to perform with his brothers, The Osmonds. Now, he’s marking that time by performing 12 shows in several major venues, including the AO Arena in Manchester and London’s Eventim Apollo.

Currently, the 65-year-old has a solo residency at Harrah’s in Las Vegas, where he performs classic hits such as Soldier of Love, Who, and Sacred Emotion. Guests also get treated to stories from the music industry as well as some brand new songs, and this winter he’ll be bringing all of this across the pond.

Donny Osmond’s legendary music career kicked off in the early '70s where he went from being a Utah singer to a global superstar. His first solo song was a cover of the 1958 track Sweet and Innocent, which peaked at Number 7 in the US, and in 1971 his single Puppy Love stayed at UK number one for five weeks.

By the mid '70s, the hype around the teen idol was so great that when he and his brothers came to the UK, the sheer number of fans waiting to see them collapsed a balcony at Heathrow Airport – which got the boys banned from landing there.

In the decades since, Donny has earned 33 gold records, sold over 100 million albums, and had 13 UK Top 40s. To the younger generations, he has become best known for his lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and for being the singing voice of Captain Li Shang in Disney’s Mulan.

When talking about his upcoming show, he said: "Performing in the UK has always felt like coming home and I'm thrilled to be returning for a tour at the end of this year. I'm bringing the whole cast from my new Las Vegas production that highlights six decades of entertaining.

“I can hardly wait to revisit those Osmondmania memories with everyone. The only difference is, they're going to let me land at Heathrow this time.”
