One day after the funeral services for her son, Marie Osmond started performing again at her Vegas show, which was dedicated to her son. Marie told the audience that the reason she chose to go back to the show only one day after her son’s funeral is because, “The way Osmond’s survive is we keep singing.” While she did shed some tears through the show, she did remain on schedule and even joked a little bit with her brother, Donny, and even challenged him to a dance-off on stage.
Donny Osmond was very supportive of his sister, telling the audience, “I think we need to give a big round of applause for my sister for even coming on stage.” At the end of the show, he went over to his sister and gave her a big hug.

It was the perfect ending to “an emotional roller coaster season” Donny Osmond told PEOPLE minutes after he and partner Kym Johnson were awarded the Season Nine mirror ball trophy. The former teen idol, 51, humbly addressed fans and press members after the show, tearing up as he tried to express how he felt to be the winner.
“If you saw the work that went into this season,” Osmond said softly. “Kym is so amazing. Of all the things I’ve done in my career, this is right up there.”
When Osmond heard his name called, he rushed over to his wife, Debbie, and swept her off her feet and onto the ballroom floor.
Just moments after Osmond and his partner were announced as champs, a pyrotechnic display on the stage behind them sparked a fire. A tarp covering the orchestra pit and instruments caught on fire while host Tom Bergeron was speaking to the victorious couple live on the air. Two crew members rushed onto the stage with fire extinguishers and put out the flames within a matter of seconds.
