Rock legend fighting incurable disease performs 7 years after retiring
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee sang his hit song 'Sweet Caroline' at the Pantages Theater on Saturday, July 12. The theater was showing a production of 'The Neil Diamond Musical: A Beautiful Noise.'
'A moment we'll never forget,' the production wrote in an Instagram video posted Sunday, July 13.
The video showed Diamond, 84, singing from his seat in the audience while the crowd sang along and cheered.
'This is a real gift! God bless you, Neil,' an Instagram user wrote on the post.
'Beautiful. Mr. Diamond continues to be a treasure. May he know what he means to so many,' another comment reads.
Diamond announced his retirement from performing back in 2018 after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.
The 84-year-old was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. He also received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.
Diamond is estimated to have sold more than 130 million records across his career.

Major League Baseball will soon see one of its highest-attended games ever on August 2. MLB announced that the Speedway Classic, featuring the Atlanta Braves vs. the Cincinnati Reds, at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee, has already sold over 85,000 tickets. The game is set to surpass the previous regular-season game attendance record of 84,587, established on Sept. 12, 1954, when Cleveland Stadium hosted the New York Yankees. August 2 will not only feature the game, but also concerts headlined by Jake Owen, Tim McGraw, and Pitbull.

A Podcast for the Questions Rarely Asked
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. When Wesley Morris, a critic at large for the Culture desk at The New York Times, was brainstorming what he wanted to do with his new podcast, he had carte blanche to invite pretty much any guest he wanted. But he didn't just want to talk to celebrities. Mr. Morris, who has won two Pulitzer Prizes for criticism, wanted to talk to the people who write about culture and the artists who make it, whether they were his friends or colleagues, or someone else who might have interesting things to say about why a particular show, character or maker had cut through the noise. 'The thing about having critics and writers come on is that they're used to talking about art and culture,' Mr. Morris said. 'But artists would love to talk about things they're not normally asked about.' In the new weekly conversation show he is hosting, 'Cannonball,' which debuted last month and drops new episodes on Thursdays, Mr. Morris said he seeks to explore culture 'in the broadest possible sense.' So far, that has brought us conversations with the writer Mark Harris about the new Pee-wee Herman documentary and what it means for artists to publicly come out, and with the chef and cookbook author Samin Nosrat about her love-hate relationship with FX's restaurant industry drama 'The Bear.' In an interview, Mr. Morris shared his favorite podcasts and his dream guest for 'Cannonball.' These are edited excerpts from the conversation. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
