OSMONDS FLY TO CHICAGO FOR OPRAH FAMILY TRIBUTE

LATEST: More than 120 members of the OSMOND family joined OPRAH WINFREY in Chicago, Illinois on Wednesday (07Nov07) to tape a special tribute to clan patriarch George Osmond, who died on Tuesday (06Nov07). The 90-year-old was supposed to join his relatives for the TV special, but he'll now be buried in his native Utah when the show airs on Friday (09Nov07). Son Donny says, "The funeral will take place on Friday, the day that Oprah airs, which is vvery interesting as far as coincidence is concerned. "I think there's a little divine intervention in the fact that everybody will be talking about my father (on the show)." Sister Marie adds, "To have something like Oprah right now is really special to our family because there's nothing they like more than their posterity, and to be able to see all of them together at one location is really special."
