It's a Beautiful Noise with Fisher Stevens brings to life Diamond's iconic songs, including Sweet Caroline , Song Sung Blue , Cracklin' Rosie , Forever in Blue Jeans and many more.

Assisting the tribute show to achieve the high standards of Diamond's songbook has been the responsibility of musical director (MD) David Mackay, who has created hits for some of the biggest names in the music, including Cliff Richard, Dusty Springfield, The Bee Gees and Eric Clapton. David has been the MD for many West End successes, including 125th Street and Jailhouse Rock .

Dave Allen showed true colours with gesture after brutal Johnny Fisher KO
Johnny Fisher suffered a brutal knockout in the fifth round of his bout against Dave Allen, who was full of respect for his friend after his victory as he stopped himself from celebrating in the ring Dave Allen showed his respect for friend Johnny Fisher after his stunning knockout win on Saturday night as he told his corner not to celebrate his victory. Allen secured his win in the fifth round of the contest, dubbed 'The Inquest', which was staged at the Copperbox. Fisher was downed twice in the fifth, the first after Allen landed two overhand rights before climbing to his feet. But the towel was thrown in after Fisher was rocked by a superb combination that ended in a left hook to the head, flooring him once again. Allen immediately lifted his arms aloft before stopping himself and pleading with his team not to celebrate the victory out of respect to Allen. 'The White Rhino' then spoke with the referee briefly to insist he would not celebrate before calmly going over to his corner again. Allen handed Fisher his first career defeat in their rematch after his rival narrowly won the first bout on points - despite many feeling it should have gone the other way. The pair embraced immediately after the contest was over and they were also pictured together in the dressing room later on in the evening - and Allen has insisted he has nothing but respect for Fisher. "The first fight did me the world of good," Allen said. "I put a bit of weight on for the body shots. I knew it would pay dividends, took the risk and got [the title]. I'm the fattest, hardest man you'll ever see. This means everything to me. I've been written off so many times. "You know what it means? The belt, everything, my kids. I'm gonna have an en suite, they'll have their own bathroom between them. At this level, I'm a handful. He overexaggerated the movement, which worked against him. "I've got experience, I know the game inside-out. I'm him, but with 30 more fights basically. I've said all along he's my friend. He's a very good friend of mine." When asked about the prospect of a third fight, he added: "I wouldn't allow it to happen, because it's not in his best interests." Fisher, meanwhile, was gracious in defeat as he vowed to come back stronger after suffering his first defeat. He said on social media: "Last night I was defeated for the first time. We have come a long way from when I begun my journey, but it's clear there is much more to do. "I took on the rematch when I had other options, but taking another option would not have been the moral thing to do when the first fight was so close. "The road is long, but I'm back on my feet, and getting up and going again is all that a man can do in this life. Thank you everyone for making my career so far a special one, roll on the next challenge."

England captain Harry Kane sings 'Sweet Caroline' as Bayern Munich star celebrates Bundesliga title - after finally ending trophy drought
Harry Kane revelled in Bayern Munich 's Bundesliga title celebrations this weekend, as the England captain belted out 'Sweet Caroline' in front of the German fans. Kane finally lifted the first trophy of his career last week at the Allianz Arena, after Bayern pipped title rivals Bayer Leverkusen to Bundesliga glory, earning the Bavaria club their 12th Bundesliga title in 13 seasons. The England captain scored his 25th league goal in another stellar season for Bayern, who cruised to a 2-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach last week to put the gloss on a title triumph that was confirmed before the game. And as is the tradition for Bayern, their public celebration of the major title saw them take to the central square in Munich in front of thousands of fans. Bayern's title parade saw them travel through the city and culminated in a celebration where each of the players lifted the Bundesliga trophy on the balcony of the New Town Hall in Marienplatz. And as Kane celebrated his long-awaited achievement, he sang along to 'Sweet Caroline', which was blasted out of the speakers. it's finally here, sweet caroline sung by harry and georgia 🔥 — michelle (6x 🏆) (@miasankane) May 18, 2025 Kane was joined by fellow countrywoman Georgia Stanway, who plays for Bayern's women's team in the Frauen-Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder was pivotal in the women's side's success this season, which saw them also win their league. After ending a 15-year wait to win a trophy in his senior career, Kane revealed his first team honour trumped the feeling of winning individual awards, the latter of which he has earned a plethora. 'It's been a long time coming,' Kane said, after he had been drenched in beer by teammates. 'It means more than any of the goalscoring awards, for sure. There's no secret that there has been this one thing that has been missing from my resume. 'It was a weight on my shoulders and now it's been lifted. I've had plenty of individual accolades and been close on so many occasions to trophies, but for one reason or another, it hasn't quite worked. 'When you go through a season, the ups and downs, the work, the training, all together with the team, with the staff, you, to have this release and have this kind of celebration at the end, I've never been able to have that before. It was just so nice to have that moment.'

But he took it out of the judges hands at the Copper Box re-run after flooring Fisher - again in round five - with a clubbing right hand. And with just seconds remaining in the round, Allen knocked Fisher out with a massive left hook following on from a combination to the body. He said afterwards: "This means everything to me.

"The best people keep coming and keep going and don't let one little blip get them down." 5 Allen knocked Fisher out with a brutal left hook Credit: PA 5 Allen made sure not to leave it to the judges Credit: PA
