Full Title: Jimmy Osmond, 55, has stroke while playing Captain Hook in panto and is rushed to hospital - forcing singer to pull out of future shows
Jimmy Osmond has been rushed to hospital after suffering a stroke on stage while starring in a pantomime.
The former Osmonds star was appearing as Captain Hook during a performance of Peter Pan at the Birmingham Hippodrome when he suffered his second stroke in 15 years.
The 55-year-old will not be returning to work in the show, which concludes on January 27, with Osmond's understudy Luke Redford and Darren Day taking over.
Jimmy became the youngest singer to have a number one hit in the UK aged just nine
The entertainer managed to complete the performance and then signed autographs for fans before going to hospital.

“I went to see them perform as a girl.”
I did not know that the Osmonds were into that.
Well, poor guy (from looks of pic, above) doesn’t look like he’s taking very good care of himself.
A shame, since he had the blessing of a sentinel warning, with the whole in his heart, with his first stroke.
Hope he recovers, completely, and decides to do something about his weight/health.
Best wishes, Jimmy!
BTW...panto is big during the Holidays in British culture.
Looks like Jimmy could use sister Marie’s diet plan.
Or Sam Kinison
In may not be too long before Jimmy gets his planet.
Just finished A&E documentary on David Cassidy’s career and last days. Very sad.
Marie is 59 and looks phenomenal.
And here’s child star, Jackie Coogan, who shot to fame in Charlie Chaplin’s “The Kid”
He can’t fog a mirror, but maybe he can still light a light bulb.
Incidental trivia...
Farrah Fawcett died on the same day as Michael Jackson. I miss her much more than the pepsi glove handed jerk.

White America’s attempted answer to the Jackson Five.
"And now back to our movie, 'The Jackson Five Story', starring 'The Osmond Brothers'"
Actually, a stroke is the first symptom of most Glioblastoma Multiforme brain cancer tumors, especially at that age. Hope it is not, but of the four victims of this disease, each one presented initially with a stroke.
I think Hollywood remade her into what they thought would sell best. She looks so plastic in all the promo pictures. I saw a picture of her once before she was “discovered”. She looked natural and was absolutely stunning.
