    Neil Diamond, one of the most beloved and best-selling musicians known for classic hits like “Sweet Caroline,” “Cracklin’ Rosie,” and “Cherry, Cherry,” faced a turning point in his career in 2018. At the age of 82, Diamond was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, leading to the end of his successful concert touring career.

    In a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Diamond shared the challenges he faced in coming to terms with his Parkinson’s diagnosis. Initially, he admitted to being in denial for the first year or two after receiving the diagnosis. Despite the doctor’s revelation, Diamond was not ready to accept it fully. He expressed his mindset at the time, saying, “I have work to do, so I’ll see you later.”

    In 2017, Diamond had completed a tour in the United States and Europe as part of his 50th Anniversary tour. However, in 2018, he announced the cancellation of the upcoming Australia and New Zealand leg of the tour due to the difficulties posed by Parkinson’s. In a press release, Diamond reluctantly declared his retirement from concert touring, emphasizing the honor he felt in bringing his shows to the public for the past 50 years.

    Giving up touring proved to be very challenging for Diamond, and it took him considerable time and effort to fully accept his diagnosis and retirement. He admitted that it was “very hard,” but in the last few weeks, he revealed that he has finally made peace with it.

    Diamond reflected on the transformation in his perspective, describing how a calm has entered the hurricane of his life. He expressed newfound contentment, acknowledging that he likes himself better and has become more forgiving of others and himself. Despite the challenges, Diamond found solace in the quiet moments that have replaced the turbulence.

    Although Neil Diamond has retired from performing, his popularity persists among fans globally. A biographical stage musical about his life, titled A Beautiful Noise, is currently running on Broadway. Diamond described the show as “absolutely wonderful” and a “dream come true” that served as part of his psychotherapy.

    While Parkinson’s has led to the end of Diamond’s touring career, he has made rare appearances, showcasing that he can still sing, and fans continue to embrace his performances. The resilience and acceptance demonstrated by Neil Diamond in the face of Parkinson’s disease resonate as an inspiring journey of self-discovery and peace.

    In a special surprise for fans, Diamond himself performed “Sweet Caroline” during the curtain call of A Beautiful Noise’s premiere. Additionally, in June 2022, he performed the iconic song at a Boston Red Sox game, continuing its tradition at Fenway Park.

    Parkinson’s disease presents considerable challenges, but Neil Diamond’s journey reflects a spirit of resilience, acceptance, and the enduring power of his music. Fans are encouraged to share this story as a tribute to Neil Diamond’s remarkable career and positive outlook.
