Donny Osmond has dispelled rumours of a family fallout with sister Marie as the pair reunited for an impromptu performance at the weekend.
The Puppy Love singer took to Twitter to reveal his little sister had stopped by to see him as he played a show in Las Vegas.
And the pair delighted crowds when they took to the stage together to sing their hit I’m A Little Bit Country, I’m A Little Bit Rock ‘N’ Roll.
Posting a photo with his arm around Marie, Donny told his 208,000 followers: “TOGETHER AGAIN!”
In a heartfelt post, the 64-year-old continued: “Words cannot express how great it was to see my sweet sister at my show on Saturday night at Harrah’s Las Vegas.

“During the Request Segment of my show, someone yelled out, ‘Sing I’m A Little Bit Country, I’m A Little Bit Rock & Roll.
“I went out to the booth where Marie was sitting and we sang our theme song once again together.”
He added: “The crowd went wild. I wish everyone could have seen it. I’ll remember that moment for the rest of my life. Thank you, Sis. I love you.”
Prior to this, the siblings had not performed publicly together since their 11-year Las Vegas residency ended in 2019.
The pair performed a total of 1,730 shows together at Flamingo Las Vegas during that time.
Announcing the show was coming to an end three years ago, Donny shared: “I owe the biggest thank you of all to my dear sister who worked so hard, side by side with me all these years.
“I want to express my deepest thanks to everyone who came to see the show during our 11-year run here in Vegas. You’ve travelled from all over the world to see us perform. We feel and sincerely appreciate your local support.”
Marie, 63, also posted a special tribute to her brother and said performing with him for over a decade had helped “get my life back on track”.
She wrote: “Last night as ‘Donny and Marie’ we sang together but this time was for the last time.
“I’m not losing him. We are, after all, still brother and sister and I’ll see him at Christmas. But ‘Donny and Marie’ will be different now.
“Change is a good reminder that it’s the only thing in life that IS consistent. But this is one of those times when it isn’t easy to move forward without tears.”
She added: “During this time I literally got my life back on track. I was a single mom with 8 kids and a lot of baggage – along with their broken hearts to heal.
“Performing with Donny provided stability by not travelling and for the first time I felt peace.
“I could be a mom and still do what I loved with someone I trusted, my brother Donny. Thank you for being my big brother.
“I believe one of the main reasons Heavenly Father put us back together was to have support for my children when my son Michael passed. We found strength from family and our new family of friends.”
The Osmonds shot to fame in the 1960s and 1970s as a singing group with hits like Love Me For A Reason, One Bad Apple and Crazy Horses.
They later transitioned into TV and the Donny & Marie show was a popular variety show that ran until 1979.
