My Dear Friends,

After many hours of pondering and prayer, after reading many of your e-mails and talking to my family, I have decided to continue performing. Some of you are asking why?  It has to do with many emotional conversations with certain individuals I have great respect for. People who have given me much to think about as it relates to the healing power of music in general.  It also has to do with going for the 50 year mark, a mark that will be inked in my posterities journals for years to come.  But recently it had to do with a blessings given that confirmed this new feeling to continue,  and what Merrill Osmond came here to do.  I apologize for having changed my mind so many times in the past. 

I just want you all to know that I love you and I'm back.

Your friend,
Merrill
