Since yesterday I shared the moment my solo career began, today I wanted to revisit one of the greatest joys of my life: performing with my siblings. When we performed “Sweet & Innocent” at the iconic Los Angeles Forum in 1971, I remember looking out at the crowd and thinking it was bigger than anything I’d ever seen before. Thankfully, I had my big brothers right there beside me to calm my nerves and keep me grounded… just like they always did. 💜 Should I bring this outfit back? 😂

This is one of the earliest pictures I have of my brother Alan and me. Even back then, you can see that he had his arm around me, watching over me. That’s who he was. My protector. My guide. The one who quietly carried so much responsibility so the rest of us could shine. Alan was our leader in every sense of the word. His tireless work helped build everything we became. I will always be grateful for the sacrifices he made and the love he showed—not just to me, but to every member of our family. I owe him more than I can ever fully express. I love you, Alan. Thank you for always being there for me. Till we meet again, Brother Donny
