Neil Diamond: "I was just not ready to accept it" in regards to having Parkinson's disease.



Neil Diamond has had a hard time coming to terms with having Parkinson's.

The renowned singer discussed learning to live with the disorder, which affects the central nervous system, in an episode of "CBS Sunday Morning" this past weekend. The singer revealed his diagnosis in 2018.

I'm forced to accept this. And I'm ready to carry it out," Diamond declared. "This is the hand that God has dealt me; I must make the most of it, and I am doing just that. I am.” 

Diamond claims that he has only recently genuinely reached a position of acceptance, saying that it "has just been in the last few weeks."


"The hurricane of my life has somehow subsided, and things have become as tranquil as this recording studio. And I enjoy it," he added. "I've come to appreciate myself more. I am kinder to others. I am kinder to myself. The rhythm continues, and it will continue long after I'm gone.

The Broadway musical "A Wonderful Noise," which is based on the life of the singer and stars Will Swenson as a young Diamond, contributes to this beat."That was all fairly challenging," Diamond said of the production. I felt a little ashamed. I was touched.

He argued that his fear sprang from insecurity.We all have a facade, so being discovered is the scariest thing you can imagine, he continued. "And let everyone know what the truth is. I'm not a famous person. I am who I am.

Diamond's diagnosis in 2018 prevented him from continuing his 50th anniversary tour in Australia. 

Before he made his tour-retiring announcement, he had already played in venues around the US and Europe.The Broadway musical A Beautiful Noise, which debuted in December and is based on Diamond's life and songs, was also discussed during the CBS interview.

He stated, "The show is a component of my psychotherapy, and it hurt."I disliked seeing myself in a lot of the scenes. I felt a little ashamed, flattered, and afraid at the same time.

WrestleMania 2023 : schedule ,Time and lot more

Arriving in Los Angeles is the biggest sporting extravaganza. Over the weekend, WWE WrestleMania 39 takes place with a star-studded lineup that includes some of the most popular storylines in professional wrestling. The main event of WrestleMania 39 is one of the most eagerly anticipated matches in recent memory. As the weekend comes to a close, dominant, record-breaking champion Roman Reigns defends the uncontested WWE championship against Cody Rhodes. Before we get there, a Saturday night neighbouring feud with an equal amount of juice occurs. Undisputed champions The Usos will face Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in an epic tag team championship fight. After becoming a "Honorary Uce" while betraying Owens, Zayn had been entangled in The Bloodline tale for months, until circumstances changed. On Saturday, John Cena takes a brief break from his hectic Hollywood schedule to take on the US champion Austin Theory, but Cena is far from the only retired star to walk foot on the card.  ...

WrestleMania 39 results : Sami Zayn and The Night 1 Winners, Losers

Night 1 of WWE WrestleMania 39 will be a hard act to follow. It would have battled with all-time greats like WrestleMania 17, 19, 30, and 31 as one of the best if tonight had been a one-night WrestleMania. Night 2 has the potential to further its already illustrious legacy, and I absolutely anticipate it will. But, after a first night that maintained pace with what has been a highly successful Triple H Era, WWE would effectively be playing with house money on Sunday night. Austin Theory defeated John Cena to begin WrestleMania with the biggest victory of his career, but it is unclear if this represents the pinnacle of his abilities.  After John Cena's stinging promo against him on the WWE Raw programme on March 6, 2023, Theory almost had to win. Cena almost went too far in his criticism of Theory in his promo, claiming that WWE had injected crowd noise into Theory's matches. As Cena famously defeated Theory, Cena also implied that Theory would still fall short when forced to fa...
