Neil Diamond on Parkinson's and "A Beautiful Noise"
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."

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.
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.

JUST ME, I know of no other celebrity that has had a story of his life …a tribute to the humble,driven and amazing singer/songwriter/actor that he is….performed in his honor…”warts and. all…while he is still alive. Few have this honor after they have passed on. Have been to many of his concerts….have never been disappointed. He is a true gentleman…and an AHHHHHMAZING human being. There will never be another Neil Diamond. He is a gem who will never lose his dazzle!🔥❤️💎

Your music was and is medicine for my soul- I battle Autoimmune diseases and like you my sister battles Parkinson’s. She has for a decade or so- She is an amazing artist and I am a retired nurse. We who believe are all part of Gods love- and worldly life is not meant to last forever. We live for something greater than this life.

I will always always love him and his music. My eight year old son, who was hit and killed by a 16 year old driver, an accident, watched his movie America. He would sit and listen with the old fashioned big earphones. He loved his music. Prayer for Mr. Diamond. 💕
I met Mr Diamond years ago in a professional capacity. He was very gracious, and down to earth. When we spoke, he addressed me as his equal, there was no "Star" B.S. at all. 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.

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.
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'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!!!

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.
Simply a national treasure. Thank you ever so much, Neil.

You definitely have a way with words. It's very impressive and pleasing to read because of the conviction and passion you put behind it. I can visualize what you write. I enjoy it.. that put a very big smile on me and i feel blessed to have such a wonderful fan like you in my life..
What a beautiful person! Thank you Neil for giving us such wonderful music. Your songs have been inspiring and comforting to me throughout my life. My father had Parkinson’s and passed many years ago. I can’t say I understand exactly what you are going through but I understand how your loved ones feel. God bless you. ❤❤❤

We Love you Neil Diamond and your music!❤
Niel Diamond has been my favorite since I was 18yo.
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.
My father had Parkinson's disease most of his adult life, so I know the good and the bad of Parkinson's. It is a journey, and my heart goes out not only to him but also to those who are close to him. Parkinson's not only affects the person but family as well.

Thank you. This is something to which I can also relate. Coming to terms with the most difficult symptoms is difficult.

@fpinzow Depending on how bad it gets, you will see changes. I never knew my real dad, Parkensons, robbed me of that. That was how much he changed. People generally think of trimmers, but it also affects their personality. Good luck, ever have questions let me know.

I have adored Neil for 50+ years. It is what it is now, but I still see that hauntingly gorgeous, hugely talented young man in his eyes.
