“Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.

"I can’t recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Father’s Death…..

"At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, ‘I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.’….

"I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that…..

"14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears…..

"A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn’t predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened…..

Donny Osmond on the passing of Michael Jackson"

“I’ve known Michael since we both were about 13 years old. He once told me that because we went through similar experiences as teenagers, I was the only person who ever understood him. Words can’t express the sadness I feel right now. My prayers go out to his family and his children,” Donny says.

Michael Jackson once urged fellow grown-up child star Donny Osmond to change his name – or risk spiraling into obscurity. Osmond reveals he sought out the King Of Pop’s advice after his own pop career had petered out and he was broke.

Donny Osmond must have taken Michael’s advice because he released "Soldier of Love" in 1989 as a mystery artist.

“Finally… lots of love to Michael Jackson, his friends, family & fans. I’m really sad to hear about his passing — he had a huge impact on me, & I have always adored him & thought of him as a complete musical genius. I also always defended him to my friends who said he was “weird” — the best people are! I had a little MJ dance party last night in tribute & I hope you did too.”
