Years after the death of Michael Jackson, Donny Osmond is opening up about the similarities the two artists shared that transcended their musical careers.
Osmond, who rose to fame in the 1970s as part of the popular family band the Osmonds, recounted his memories of the late singer in the new documentary “Larger than Life: Reign of the Boybands.”
“I spent a lot of time with Michael Jackson. I mean, you look at the Osmonds and the Jackson 5, the comparisons of the two families are just uncanny,” Osmond said, per Entertainment Weekly.
Osmond’s and Jackson’s family dynamics also shared many similarities.
″There’s nine children in each family,” the “Puppy Love” artist said. “Mike and I are both the seventh child of nine. Our mothers’ birthdays are on the same day. Michael and I are the same age.”
