Donny Osmond makes candid Michael Jackson revelation
Donny Osmond recently revealed on Instagram that his name was considered a "joke" in the music industry during the early 1980s.
Facing a career downturn, Osmond sought advice from Michael Jackson, who had just released Thriller.
Jackson candidly told Osmond that his name was "poison" and advised him to change it, which Osmond found difficult to hear.
Osmond's career saw a resurgence in 1989 with "Soldier of Love", a song radio stations played without initially crediting him as the artist.
Watch the video in full above.
