Donny Osmond opened up after hearing one of Justin Bieber’s new songs called “Lonely.” The song details Justin’s loneliness and hard time dealing with fame at such a young age. Donny, now 62 years old, can definitely relate. He was put in the public eye at a very young age and has never slowed down.
Donny said, “I can really relate because I’ve been through it and I came out through the other end of the tunnel and I admire Justin because he’s changed his life. So I know what Justin’s going through, what he’s been through. And it was at that time in my life, I thought I need to take care of myself.”
