Utah singer Jimmy Osmond has a stroke during a stage show in England

Osmond, the youngest member of the family singing group The Osmonds, was taken to a hospital in Birmingham after Thursday night's production of Peter Pan, in which he played Captain Hook, according to a news release by the theater, The Birmingham Hippodrome.

“After pushing through the evening’s performance of Peter Pan at Birmingham Hippodrome, Jimmy Osmond was driven straight to hospital and diagnosed with a stroke,” a spokesperson for Osmond said in the theater's news release.

Osmond, of Provo, was performing in the Hippodrome’s annual pantomime, or “panto,” a theatrical holiday tradition in England that features colorful, high-energy productions of fairy tales.
