Donny And Marie Osmond To Resume Las Vegas Show, Marie's Son Laid To Rest

Donny and Marie Osmond are returning to the Las Vegas stage tonight just one day after the funeral of Marie's son, Michael Blosil. Services were held for Blosil on Monday in Provo, Utah -- the home of the famous Mormon family. According to TV's "Inside Edition," an estimated 300 friends and family were in attendance to pay their respects to Blosil. Donny Osmond served as a pallbearer, carrying the coffin of his late nephew and later crying during temple services. "Inside Edition" also reported that Marie looked emotional throughout the memorial for her son, who leapt to his death from the eighth floor of his Los Angeles apartment on February 26th. He was just 18-years-old. A program at the service read, "Michael Bryan -- Beloved Son, Brother, and Friend."

Donny and Marie Osmond will take the stage at The Flamingo Showroom in Las Vegas tonight at 7:30 p.m. local time. Osmond Vegas show producer Chip Lightman said last week that he thinks, quote, "performing will help the healing process" for Marie.
