He also co-wrote many of the band’s songs, along with older brother Alan.

He also had brief solo career, having a major hit with ‘You’re Here to Remember (I’m Here to Forget)’, with Jessica Boucher in 1987.
Despite his success with country music, he’s recently gone back to his rock roots, releasing an album titled ‘A Tribute to Classic Rock’ and embarking on his new tour ‘Memories with the Legendary Merrill Osmond’.
Merrill Osmond will play Viva on Monday, June 5.
Tickets are priced from £8 and are available from www.vivablackpool.com and 01253 297297.
