Loved this spoof CSI Miami with Donny Osmond – he got the character/actor down to a tee, really made me laugh.  That character/actor is the reason I don’t watch CSI Miami, I am a CSI Vegas girl – bring back “Grissom” is what I say…

Now that the final Osmonds UK Tour is over, we would love to hear your stories on Osmonds Galore. I can tell you that in the past few days, lots of people have been searching for stories about the Osmond Tour(via google search and such) and landing on my website. If you would like to share your Osmond Moment, now or whenever you are ready, please come along and give it a go, it’s free and easy, I do most of the work for you, even putting a watermark on your image if you need me to (if you have one to share that is, it is not a requirement).

Just go here to get started: Share Your Osmond Fan Story

Wow I just spent a glorious hour watching these 5 videos which make up the TV documentary of when The Osmonds toured the UK in 1973. I was 13 years old then and probably, like thousands of others, the ONLY important things to me were…

How can I get close to The Osmonds, can I get a ticket, will my parents let me go and how will I make sure that it’s me Donny picks when he is ready to wed (never mind that we were of different religions, resided in different countries, somehow, it would happen if I only wish it enough).

I was lucky enough to attend one of the Earls Court Concerts and one of the Rainbow theatre concerts (watching these videos I now realise, I was very lucky to even get a ticket for The Rainbow AND I didn’t even live in London!!). Earls Court I remember the most for the sheer volume of noise, not from The Osmonds but from the fans, I remember most of the time, I couldn’t hear them singing, it was that loud but I loved it none the less. I also remember that one because, after the concert I went to the pre-arranged spot where my older brother was going to pick me up (he was late) and whilst waiting there I was almost set upon by Bay City Roller fans, I managed to escape, phew!! If you want to hear more of that, let me know in the comments and I will do another post on it another time

So, as this, the last ever UK tour by The Osmonds nears it’s end.. take a trip down memory lane with this Documentary from 1973 – quick tip, have a box of tissues handy, you will need them for so many reasons.

Admin Note – Just click the image to make the video player pop out each time.

I am VERY sad to say, I wasn’t in a position to go to any of the 50+ concerts of this final Osmonds UK Tour, however, I did manage to get over to my local Tesco’s at Fforestfach, Swansea and right near the front of the queue for their CD signing… so I did manage to get a very quick Osmond hug (they are the best kind) and was able to say to Merrill – or rather to thank him/them for being in my life – he said “aww bless you” and squeezed my hand really tight… oh and of course, I got my CD signed, I will upload a piccy of that just as soon as I can get near the scanner.

So that was my very small Osmond moment BUT I would love to include lots of Osmond Moments here on the site (with pictures if available) and I am sure my readers would love it also.

So if you fancy that, then please use the Contact Me form (just click those words to go straight to the form) to get in touch with me. When I hear from you, I will email you with the details I need and where to email them.

Please don’t think you have to be “some kind of writer” to get involved, we would rather hear it in your own words and please don’t think you have to right a whole chapter (you can if you want), just a couple of lines is fine.

I will then include you as a guest author on this site – simples!

Please do help to spread the word amongst your friends on Facebook (or anywhere else) by using the Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter etc buttons you will find at the top and bottom of every post on this site, that way, hopefully we will get a really good collection of stories from this last Osmond UK “Up Close and Personal” Tour.

If you are not sure what to do, just leave a comment below (or you can just comment if you want lol).

These are the tour dates and booking information for the final *sob* UK Tour for The Osmonds. The tour is called:

“Up Close and Personal”

All of the information below is taken directly from Osmond.com Tour Schedule page

For over five decades The Osmond Brothers have been entertaining sold out crowds throughout the world and 2012 marks the year of their biggest ever UK Tour.

The tour will take fans on a journey through their many unforgettable hits – from classics such as “One Bad Apple”, “Down By The Lazy River”, “Let Me In” and “Love Me For A Reason” to “Crazy Horses” and “Long Haired Lover From Liverpool” – the 1972 number One from Jimmy, who has more recently appeared in London’s West End in Grease and Chicago.

“We truly want this tour to be a great big thank you to all our fans for their love and support through the years. We’ve performed in the UK many times, but this final tour will take us all around the UK and allow us to get up close and personal with our fans – we can’t wait!” said JIMMY OSMOND.

The Osmonds are unique in their success as a band and as solo performers.  They have recorded over 200 albums, selling over 100 million copies with 59 gold and platinum recordings. They have sold out venues worldwide, breaking box office records and received countless awards; most notably in 2003 when they were honoured by the industry, receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
