So what is he up to at age 65, and what sent him recently trekking down memory lane?
Donny Osmond Baby Boomer Crowd Swoons
Every generation has its favorite teen idol crushed, but in the 60s and 70s, most young teenage females swooned over Elvis Presley, David Cassidy, or Donny Osmond. These days, Donny is the last man standing from the list above. But even at age 65, the Puppy Love hitmaker has still got it and sends baby boomer-aged females into a wild frenzy.
Donny Osmond still drives the females wild. Currently, Donny is still packing them in. Except these days, he is only sometimes touring across the globe to do so. If his fans want to find him, the husband, father, and grandfather can be found at Harrah’s Las Vegas, starring in Donny during his Las Vegas residency.
Donny still loves the thrill of hitting the open road to tour from time to time. But he prefers his stage in Vegas. His dedicated fans fork out big money to walk down memory lane with their beloved teen idol crush. He gives his fans their money’s worth and takes them in a musical time machine, reliving each and every hit. The fans eat it up. Donny Osmond is also unafraid to hop into a crowd and interact with his female followers.
Teen Dream’s Fiesty Fans Get Overly Excited
Donny Osmond recently put on a show in the United Kingdom. The arena was filled with 60- and 70-year-old women reliving their tween and teen days of long ago. Donny was also having a blast.
The former teen superstar posted a video on Instagram of him interacting with the crowd. Then, all of a sudden, the women became uncontrollable, especially one lively fan who grabbed onto him and wouldn’t let go. Soon, the other women were getting just as enthusiastic.
This situation could have ended badly for all involved, especially Donny Osmond. But instead, he just laughed the incident off, smiled, and continued singing. He remarks on his Instagram post that having the female crowd go wild took him way back into the 70s, which he enjoys reminiscing about. He also claimed he loved every minute of it.
Donny Osmond is a real trooper and a humble and appreciative star who loves and adores his fans. Now, what current teen pop star would go that far these days?
