The life of singer-songwriter Neil Diamond has been dramatized, "warts and all," in the Broadway musical "A Beautiful Noise." Diamond, now 82, talks with correspondent Anthony Mason about continuing to sing; his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (a condition for which he was, he says, long in denial); and about the calm that has - finally - moved into "the hurricane of my life."

For many years my family was in the funeral business. One funeral stands out for me because of Neil Diamond. Sometime in the 90's the father of one of Diamond's roadies died. As I remember, the band at the time, was in Australia. It was probably going to be impossible for the roadie to get home for the funeral until Neil Diamond said to his people, "Buy that kid a suit and get him on a plane." When the roadie's mother sent him off to rejoin the tour, he was carrying the mother's gift for the "Jewish kid from Brooklyn." It was a crucifix, blessed by the parish priest. I shall carry this story of Neil Diamond's kindness with me always and I know the roadie's family is forever grateful. Thank you, Mr. Diamond.

Neil Diamond has always been one of my heroes. Growing up in the 60's -70's he was a giant. I played drums with a traveling road band and we did a LOT of Neil Diamond's songs in our show so his music became the soundtrack to my life. It's so hard seeing him in this condition. It is with great grace and humility he has accepted his condition. Neil Diamond has had a long and blessed life and he's achieved remarkable fame and fortune. Yet he is still plagued by insecurity and self-doubt as we all are, thus he is human. Parkinson's is tough. Aging is tough. All we can do is approach our lives with gratitude and grace and follow our hearts to pursue our passions and live everyday to its fullest. Hopefully we will someday have a cure for such diseases. Thank you Neil Diamond for all the great music you've given us and continue to give us.

As he said here, there is no cure for this cruel condition, but sir, I wish you "peaceful sufferance" as you deal with it.

@ladyjane3660 Год назад

I've been a HUGE Neil Diamond fan since about 1967. For many years, his music was the only performer's music I would even buy. I would listen to records, tapes, and CDs of his for, literally, hours on end. I was pretty obsessed with him. Yeah, as a younger man he was so easy on the eyes, but his music really resonated with me. His talent in composing lyrics and the music to go together is unsurpassed. I am sad for him that he has been struck with Parkinson's but he sure has had a great life. God Bless him!!!

@Julieglam3 Год назад

My mother absolutely adored him. His music was always playing in our house. My husband is 66 and was just diagnosed with PD. It has helped him to hear stories such as Neil's and Michael J Fox and see that it doesn't have to define you. He's in the very early stages so I think he is still in the acceptance phase. We live each day as it unfolds. I hope my husband can arrive at the same place of quiet peacefulness with his diagnosis.

A touching and poignant interview. Humble and true as Neil shared his experiences. My dad loved Neil. He is fantastic. We saw him twice in the 80s and the last time I saw him was a few years ago (all in Dallas). Anthony's interviews are endearing and informative with knowledge of his subject. He allows space for the person to express oneself. We love you Neil. 🕺

I'm Brazilian and I grow up listening to the Neil Diamond songs. What can I say about that? Go to the fight!!

@jimcypher Год назад

I met him in Albany NY in the early 90s, him in a T-shirt, Bermuda shorts and sandals while noshing on a bagel. Great person, smart, talented, interesting...

@ladyjane3660 Год назад

How lucky you were to get to meet him in person!

@cindybee7461 Год назад

I've loved him since the 1960s. Over 30 concerts from 1977-2017, meeting him. This is breaking my heart. I can't stop crying.

@jamesfreeman2258 Год назад

I saw him live in LA. I remebered that I was so surprised how tall he is. We loved his show, and his talent is one of a kind and beautiful.

But….you are a star Mr. Diamond. Your music is one of the kind with a forward moving force that serves as inspiration. I grew up with you on the radio, a soundtrack to my life. A good human being. Bless you.

Neil you are a diamond! I have listened to your music since the 60's. I've seen you in concert and danced in the aisle! My husband was diagnosed with PD in 2021. You are an inspiration.

I have so much respect for this man. He was a mainstay during my youth in the 60's and 70's. He was bigger than big ! A real honest to God talent ! I'm so sorry to hear of his illness. His life and talent has inspired so many. What a LEGACY he has ! God Bless you Neil ! You are a LEDGEND and always will be..... It was so good, so good, so good ! 💙

When he first stood up, I thought he looked frail and I was so sad. But when he opened his mouth…OMG! What a treasure he is!

@sandievasques6784 Год назад

He truly is an “ICON”! Loved his music for years and love him for sharing his life.

@romstar Год назад

I listen to Neil Diamond at least once a week 😉'Forever In Blue Jeans' is one of my favorites ❤🎉😍

@ladyjane3660 Год назад

He has written SO MANY amazing songs that it's hard to choose a favorite. I like Forever in Blue Jeans, too, but also love "Remember Me", "Common Ground", the entire Longfellow Serenade album, "As If", "Play Me", "Dry Your Eyes", and, of course, his most iconic song, "I Am, I Said". He sings many of the songs written and originally performed by others better than the original. He has such an amazing voice. Yeah, I REALLY LOVE Neil Diamond.

@codacreator6162 Год назад

One of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. I was lucky enough to see him live in 1996. It was a sublime experience. I had to be the only dude in the crowd under 50 at the time. Man, what a show. I also saw the KISS Reunion show that year. Hard to saw which had the greater energy, spectacle. Seriously, Neil Diamond is a once in a generation talent.

@chrisshenzo2594 11 месяцев назад

An aquaintance who was called to work with him witnessed loyalty and thoughtfulness to others which left him very impressed. Clearly still some "Old Brooklyn" genuinity in the man.

@karenhinkle7992 Год назад

NEIL you may not think you are a big star...BUT in my eyes are! I have loved your music and you since the very day I saw you on the Smothers Brothers show in the late 1960s. Since then I have been a NEIL fan!! I have been to many many concerts of yours and loved them all! Especially your 50th Hot August Night tour which I saw in Salt Lake City!! What an absolutely GREAT performance you did and will live in my heart till the day I die! I wish you well in your journey with Parkinson’s and want only the best for you and your wife. May you have many more pleasures in your life. From an extremely TRUE FAN..God Bless you!

Even though I've seen Neil live several times in his heyday, he still amazes me. Kudos to Anthony Mason for this great interview. Mason seems like the therapist we all need at some point point in our lives.

Getting old isn’t for the faint of heart, but we are blessed to be here, limitations and all. Your music will live forever by those who love you and your music.

@mrss4278 Год назад

LOVE you...we really LOVE you!!! God bless you, dear Neil Diamond. I still have a lovely note sent to me by your staff in reply to a letter I sent you in 1989 and I treasure it. It was a hard time for me then and your music was very helpful getting encouragement of a kind and lifting my spirits. Music has saved my sanity on more than one occasion so in that we have a nice connection. Thank you for sharing your talent, records, concerts for most of my life! An excellent gift to all. I will continue to pray for you.

@rodneybaer4324 Год назад

I've loved this man and his music my entire life. Thank you mom and dad for having such great taste. What a blessing indeed.

@tawanahbagwell7521 Год назад

You just have to love Neil Diamond! What a performer! I was blessed to see him 3 times in concert. I hope his musical travels near me.

@RedheadedMusic Год назад

I grew up listening to Diamond, my best friends Mom listened to him nonstop.... In the ‘90s I had the privilege of working for Neil locally in LA, for his rehearsals before tours, many different times, and in 1999 I got to tour with Neil. We spent NYE celebrating the millennial in Denver. Such great memories, such a great group of production people he has had behind the scenes for a lifetime! Godspeed Neil. Thanks for the great memories!
