Extreme Fans
During their time on tour, things sometimes got a bit out of control with those wild fans we spoke about. One particular incident occurred in Florida while the Osmonds were performing. Close to the end of the concert, the family returned to their hotel. Upon their return, they saw ropes leading to their room’s balcony. Immediately, they phoned the lobby to inquire. Well, if you believe this, two fans had climbed up onto the roof and tried repelling to the Osmond’s room. Talk about scary.
Musical Influences
People speculated that this musical family must have had a hard time learning from other musicians and having musical influences since they were so tight knit. Of course, another factor was that CDs and MP3s did not exit back then. However, as we talked about with the Jackson Five, exposure to other musical talent via variety shows helped bands learn about other gneres that would influence their music.
