Donny Osmond rose to prominence in the early 1970s as a member of the American musical group The Osmonds. The singer has now sat down with Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore, where he spoke candidly about his life and career.
The 64-year-old told her he was banned from Heathrow Airport at the height of his career.
Speaking on The Drew Barrymore Show yesterday, Donny recalled the mania that ensued after crazed fans broke a balcony, in a bid to get a glimpse of the star.
During one incident, the musician claimed that airport staff had refused to land the plane and his flight was diverted.
Drew commented: “Most people will never experience this.

The Hollywood actress compared the attention that The Osmonds received from fans to that of Beatlemania.
Donny said: “I was having a blast. All of these girls screaming your name. What guy wouldn’t want that?
“They’re trying to get through the cops and the barriers to get to me. And it’s like, ‘Yes, I love this life.'”
Donny enjoyed a successful music career as a band member in The Osmonds and later went on to pursue a solo career that has spanned decades.
