💨 Abstract

On Saturday, Neil Diamond, 84, surprised the audience at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles by performing "Sweet Caroline" during a musical about his life. Seven years after retiring from touring due to Parkinson's disease, Diamond was recognized by the show's lead, Nick Fradiani, to sing his iconic hit. The performance was met with enthusiastic cheers and appreciation from the crowd. Diamond's Parkinson's announcement has been the cause of periodic television studio interviews, but rare public appearances.
