Donny Osmond and Son Chris Save the Day at Draper Days Concert

What was supposed to be a typical summer night of music at the Draper Days festival turned into a memorable family moment that had the crowd cheering for more. When country star Collin Raye, the scheduled headliner, had to cancel just two days before the concert due to a COVID-19 diagnosis, the show was in danger of falling apart. But in true showbiz fashion, the spotlight shifted — and was saved — by none other than Donny Osmond and his son, Chris.

Chris Osmond had originally been slated to perform as the opening act. However, with Collin Raye unable to appear, organizers asked Chris to expand his set. Rising to the occasion, Chris brought in his legendary father, Donny Osmond, to help him fill the headliner slot. Together, they turned a potential disaster into a night to remember.

The concert wasn’t without challenges. As temperatures soared, technical issues began to mount. Equipment malfunctions, monitor failures, and overall chaos tested the performers. But Donny’s six decades of experience proved invaluable. “Having my dad there was kind of a saving grace,” Chris shared, reflecting on the night as the perfect “college course in crisis performance.”

Despite the hurdles, the duo delivered an electrifying show. Fans were treated to a blend of nostalgic hits, including “Puppy Love,” and fresh songs from Donny’s latest album. For Chris, it was not only a test of endurance and professionalism but also a rare and special chance to share the stage with his father.

The Draper Days crowd responded with enthusiasm, proving that sometimes the best performances come when things don’t go as planned. Chris Osmond also announced he has a new single dropping Monday — yet another reason to watch this rising star.
