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.
