Marie Osmond ‘Isn’t Willing’ to Join Brother Donny for a Farewell Tour: ‘Focused on New Projects’

Marie Osmond 'isn't willing to go backward' in her career, an insider exclusively tells Closer of her hesitancy to join brother Donny Osmond on a farewell tour.

Donny Osmond is begging his sister, Marie Osmond, to join him for a potential blockbuster farewell tour that could easily rake in millions for the duo — but the “Paper Roses” songbird won’t resurrect their longtime musical partnership because she has zero interest in reliving the past, a source says. The popular performers recorded 13 albums together, released 12 singles, hosted the Donny & Marie variety show from January 1976 to May 1979 and enjoyed a long-running residency in Las Vegas. According to sources, the proposal isn’t just about the cash because 66-year-old Donny is craving the chance to say a heartfelt goodbye to the loyal fans who’ve stood by their side throughout decades of stardom as a family band.
