neil diamond disappoints fans, but comes through with a refund
Disappointed Neil Diamond fans will get a refund after attending a concert at Ohio State University in which the 67-year-old singer’s voice sounded raspy.
Some fans left the Monday concert early and others said Diamond completed the concert without mentioning anything to the audience about his voice.
A statement from Diamond, the singer of such hits as “Sweet Caroline” and “Song Sung Blue,” on Tuesday says a doctor has diagnosed acute laryngitis.
Diamond spokeswoman Eve Samuels says the singer is offering a refund to those who place a request before Sept. 5. “I haven’t let you down before and I won’t let you down now,” the singer said in an apology on his Web site.
Another message says Wednesday’s concert in Green Bay, Wis., will be rescheduled for Sept. 12, and Friday’s concert in St. Louis, Mo., will instead take place Sept. 10.

I had the pleasure to be in his concerts on Tampa and Orlando last octuber 2008 and his voice was as always: clear and beautiful. I can’t imagine a real fan leaving a Diamond’s concert no matter what. He’s the King forever!

Performer, singer, song writer…yes. But it’s the poet that reaches my heart and entertains my soul. As long as he can pen a verse, music history will note the insperational genius within this mans soul.

One of the “100 must see films before you die” has to be “Jazz Singer”. It never dates and never fails to leave one with that “warm glow” feeling! It is a superb film showing Neil at his absolute best.
