The better half of the former Donny & Marie show is returning to the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Donny Osmond will do a solo, presumably “multi-year,” residency at Harrah’s Las Vegas starting Aug. 31, 2021.<\/p>\n

\"Donny
He’s awesome. He’s back. And he’s not drinking coffee or tea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Donny & Marie show ran at Flamingo for 11 years, closing on Nov. 16, 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their show was remarkable for a number of reasons, including the fact the sibling’s original contract was for just six weeks.<\/p>\n

Their well-reviewed Flamingo residency was very lucrative. The Osmonds reportedly each earned $1.6 million a year base salary, plus 40% of the box office gross.<\/p>\n

While Donny and Marie Osmond made bank during their Flamingo residency, there were ongoing rumors of friction<\/a> between them. Donny should totally name his next album “Rumors of Friction.”<\/p>\n

\"Donny
Even at Flamingo, the writing was on the wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The pair barely performed together onstage, and rarely spoke offstage. Guests who paid for meet-and-greet photos got either Donny or Marie, not both.<\/p>\n

As tensions grew, it was clear the duo wanted out, but the money was just too good to bail.<\/p>\n

However, all awkward things must come to and end.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Harrah’s (owned by Caesars Entertainment) and Donny Osmond are confident there’s still high demand for his talents as a solo artist, and we agree.<\/p>\n

\"Donny
Donny Osmond is one of the few performers who looks better before they’re Photoshopped.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the banter between Donny and Marie Osmond was a highlight of their show, we’re pretty sure Donny can hold his own and his fans are both legion and extraordinarily passionate.<\/p>\n

Osmond has lived an extraordinary life, with 33 gold records to his name. He’s currently working on his 63rd album.<\/p>\n

The only lowlights we can see of Donny’s life are: 1) He had to do a residency with Marie, and 2) He and his wife have never had oral sex. (At least that’s what he told Howard Stern.)<\/p>\n

Even if Donny Osmond had done nothing else in his professional career, he did this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The outtakes are even better. Behold the moment when Donny Osmond went from American cultural icon to whatever is even better than being an American cultural icon.<\/p>\n
