Wayne Osmond, an original member of the Osmondsphlboss, the family singing group that had a string of pop hits in the 1970s and helped launch the careers of his more renowned siblings Donny and Marie, died on Wednesday in Salt Lake City. He was 73.

His death, at University of Utah Hospital, was caused by complications of a recent stroke, his daughter Amy Cook said.

As an original member of the group, which began as a sibling quartet called the Osmond Brothers, Wayne and his brothers were child stars and later became a ubiquitous pop act. As practicing Mormons, the family built a brand on resisting the temptations of fame while capturing the spirit of the era with their flared jumpsuits and rollicking dance choreography.

Songs like “One Bad Apple” and “Yo-Yo” became Top 10 singles in the early 1970s. (“One Bad Apple” reached No. 1.) The group drew comparisons to the Jackson Five — young Donny, known for his raspy high notes, was their equivalent of Michael Jackson — and reached a feverish level of fame.

Scientists have discovered a rocky world orbiting another star that already went through its red giant phase. This planet now orbits a white dwarf, the smaller stellar body that remains after a star burns out. Crucially, the planet looks like it once orbited the star in the same position Earth currently travels around our sun, and did so until it was pushed to a more distant orbit, twice the Earth-sun distance, sometime before the dying giant could eat it. This makes it the first potential rocky world to be observed orbiting a white dwarf.

Among the other suggestions, the report also calls for a lifting of research restrictions on cannabis. In recent years, many claims have been made about the medicinal and other health effects of the drug but often without substantiation from science.

When the Osmonds landed at Heathrow Airport in London on a trip to Britain in 1972, “they were lucky to escape alive,” a reporter wrote in The New York Times that year, and they “produced the kind of teary, lip‐trembling, shrieking scenes that recalled the early impact of the Beatles, post‐Liverpool.”
