Marie Osmond taken to hospital with 'bad case of bronchitis' after Las Vegas

Marie Osmond has been diagnosed with a bad case of bronchitis. The "Paper Roses" hitmaker herself revealed that she didn't realize she has lung problem until her voice started to give out during a section of Donny & Marie's variety show at the Flamingo Las Vegas on Wednesday, October 26 night.


"So the allergies went into a bronchitis," the younger sister of Donny Osmond explained about her condition to her Twitter followers on Thursday, October 27. In the same tweet, she noted, "Didn't realize it until I went to hit the high notes last night on stage. Pie Jesu was kinda P-U."


Earlier Thursday, Marie's spokesman Greg Sperry told the Las VegasSun that the 52-year-old was rushed to the hospital after she finished her Wednesday night performance because of concerns about her vocal cords. After a series of X-rays and tests at St. Rose Dominican Hospital Sienna Campus Emergency Room, the singer was cleared to perform again on Thursday night.


Marie was released after two hours at the hospital.
She has been given the go-ahead to return to the stage at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.
Although no performances have been cancelled as yet, Mr Sperry said that some of the numbers might be cut of curtailed to give Marie's voice a chance to rest.


The singer is still scheduled to go on stage tonight.
Marie has suffered varying fortunes over the last few years.
Her 19-year-old son Michael committed suicide in February last year by jumping off a balcony after a lengthy battle with depression.
Earlier this year, she remarried her first husband Steve Craig in a surprise ceremony.
