March 03, 2010 -- Donny Osmond has broken his silence on the death of Marie Osmond's son. Donny, who ask that fans "pray" for his sister and their family is finally speaking out about his nephew Michael Blosil's suicide last week.
Donny Osmond told RadarOnline that he and his family are "rallying" around Marie and trying to comfort her in any way possible. "As we all know, whenever there is a situation when there needs to be rallying," Donny told Entertainment Tonight "The Osmond's rally around each other and support each other. There's a lot of that going on right now."
Marie's 18 year old son, Michael Blosil committed suicide on Friday night, jumping off of his 8th floor apartment balcony. Although friends and classmates say Blosil was well liked and very friendly, Michael had battled depression for most of his life, along with rumored problems with drugs and alcohol.
In 2007 then 16 year old Michael Blosil entered a rehab facility after Donny and Marie told Larry King he was "suffering from some issues."

When Donny heard the news of Michael's passing he said he immediately flew to Las Vegas to be with his sister. "We all flew down to Vegas to be there for her. It meant a lot to her to have us at her house."
Donny's older brother Alan Osmond told ET, they were having a family dinner when Donny said "Alright everybody get on the plane, we're going to Vegas." And Donny fired up his private jet and had all of the Osmond brothers flown to be by Marie's side.
