Singing legend Jimmy Osmond has admitted that his famous brothers persuaded him to take part in ITV’s Popstar to Operastar.
Jimmy revealed:
“I came over here to meet the producers and they said, ‘just for fun, go and vocalise with our coach.’ It would never have crossed my mind that I could hit a big note, but I did and the coach said, ‘that’s cool’.
“Then I went home and didn’t think anything more about it,” continues Jimmy, who has sold over a 100 million records as part of The Osmonds and is also a platinum-selling solo artist. “But soon after, I got a call asking me to take part in Popstar to Operastar. When I told my brothers about it, they said, ’get out of here! You’ve got to do it. We’ll cover for you here’. So now Merrill is doing shows for me in the US, and I’m over here having the time of my life!”
