It’s the end of an era, folks! After an incredible 11 years of dazzling audiences with their signature charm, music, and dance, Donny Osmond and Marie Osmond have announced that their iconic Las Vegas residency at the Flamingo Resort is coming to a close by the end of this year. The beloved brother-sister duo shared the bittersweet news during an appearance on Good Morning America on Thursday, March 21. This isn’t just the end of a show; it’s the end of a chapter in entertainment history.
A Legacy to Remember
Let’s take a step back and appreciate just how monumental this run has been. Donny, now 61, and Marie, 59, have been performing together for over 40 years, creating memories that will last a lifetime. During their GMA segment, Donny opened up about the decision to bring their residency to a close, saying, “It’s been rumored that we’re bringing ‘Donny and Marie’ to an end here in Las Vegas. Well, we’re here to confirm—it’s official.” He went on to explain that this wasn’t an easy choice, emphasizing, “It’s been very, very hard. We’ve spent decades bringing joy to people, and now it’s time to move on, but it’s not without a heavy heart.”
More Than Just a Show
Donny and Marie’s residency wasn’t just another gig—it was a cultural phenomenon. Originally slated as a six-week engagement, the show became such a hit that the Flamingo Resort kept bringing them back for more. Over the years, they’ve built a loyal fanbase, drawing visitors from all corners of the globe who have made it a bucket-list item to see them perform live in Las Vegas. Marie shared during the GMA interview, “It’s going to be tough saying goodbye to those fans who have waited their entire lives to see us perform. They’ve traveled from all over the world just to be here in Vegas.”

Donny echoed this sentiment by sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram after the announcement. He wrote, “It’s official! At the end of 2019, Marie and I will conclude our #LasVegas residency. It’s a strange feeling knowing that the end is on the horizon. Last night, after the show, I couldn’t help but reflect on everything I’ll miss once it’s all over.”
A Family Affair
For Donny, the end of the residency means more than just wrapping up a successful run—it’s about saying farewell to a place that has become a second home. In his Instagram post, he continued, “I’m going to miss performing on stage with my incredibly talented sister every night. She’s truly the best partner in crime anyone could ask for. Together, we’ve created something truly special.” He also took a moment to thank the Flamingo Resort, writing, “I’m going to miss our home away from home, @FlamingoVegas. We’ve had the time of our lives here.”
