Neil Diamond on Parkinson's and "A Beautiful Noise"
Рет қаралды 1,175,221
Күн бұрынThe 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.

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!!!

I had long been a fan of his music, but from that day on, I was a fan of the man himself. As he said here, there is no cure for this cruel condition, but sir, I wish you "peaceful sufferance" as you deal with it.

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.

I was born in 79. I hadn't had the opportunity to see him in his beginning years. But I can tell you know, despite not "growing up" in the heyday of his musical career. HIS MUSIC and his LIFE still had a profound meaning for me in the 80's and 90's and dare I say even today , some 44 years later. In fact, the appreciation for what he gave this world in song is finer than it ever was and ever has been. Neil is a true gift to those who love the art of song and music! I wish him well and THANK YOU!

Was so fortunate to see Neil Diamond in concert a long time ago. He’s one of the best musicians, singers, songwriters out there. His music will stand the test of time, and he’s absolutely right - I really do like him.

I listen to Neil Diamond at least once a week 😉'Forever In Blue Jeans' is one of my favorites ❤🎉😍
@ladyjane3660 Жыл бұрын
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.

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. 🕺

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.

The most wonderful music from a very humble man. But I would like to mention the interviewer was one of the most compassionate and gentle I have seen. It’s a skill that seems to have been lost in the media space.

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.
