Neil Diamond, who sings and writes songs, turned 82 on January 24. During this time, he has sold more than 130 million records all over the world, making him one of the most popular musicians ever.
On December 7, 2022, the opening night of “The Neil Diamond Musical: A Beautiful Noise,” Diamond made a surprise appearance on stage. A video of it was posted on his Instagram page. The singer wowed the crowd with his music. He looked strong and healthy. He joined the cast of the Broadway show to sing “Sweet Caroline,” which is one of his most famous songs.
A source said that Diamond said he was staying busy and doing well. He revealed,
Well, I’m doing pretty well. I’m active. I take my meds. I do my workouts. I’m in pretty good shape. I’m feeling good. I want to stay productive. I still have my boys. I just can’t do the traveling that I once did, but I have my wife there supporting me (and) friends.
After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, the famous person retired in January 2018 and put off the third leg of his 50th-anniversary tour. The musician said that his diagnosis had made things hard, but he was also hopeful about the future. He said that he was taking care of his illness as best he could and that he was feeling better every day. He also said that he planned to keep making music.
Katie McNeil Diamond, who is 53, is a lot younger than Diamond. She is his third wife. She worked as a producer, and some of the movies she worked on were “Heart: Alive in Seattle” and “Underneath Acoustic Live,” both of which came out in 2004. On April 21, 2012, they got married. Diamond admitted that he was a hard-to-please husband.
I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I’ve finally found somebody who’s up to the task of being my wife because I’m very high maintenance.
The star said that to be high maintenance, he had to have a wife, a close friend, or someone he could talk to right away. His wife had to stop doing whatever she was doing at the time to take care of him. Katie said she was scared at first to go out with Diamond, but she eventually gave in.
Diamond was lucky to have a loving family, including his eight grandchildren, as well as a wife who cared for him. The star’s grandchildren are between 5 and 22 years old. The musician wants to play live again someday, but he knows that because of his illness, it may never happen.
