        I hope all Neil Diamond fans will consider donating something to the Michael J Fox Foundation to help find a cure. Both my dad *and* stepdad were diagnosed this year, so this really hits home 😢 https://www.michaeljfox.org/get-involved/donation2.php?pg=37 …

        OH no!!! My first live concert in the 60s and several since. Front row once! I love Neil Diamond & his music! Sad about his Parkinson's Disease. Prayers for him.

        I was five the first time I saw him in concert—remember it like it was yesterday. I’ve seen him five times (also once in the first row) and had “Songs of Life” sang at my wedding. His music has been part of the soundtrack of my life.

        He filled his cup many times, thank goodness. What a ride. I hope he is at peace and that he is able to be comfortable. Many people continue to live long lives with this disease and not have pain or suffering. I wish that for you @NeilDiamond

        Ya'll are acting like he's dead. Parkinson's is a slow, progressive disease. He probably wants to spend more time with family now, he still has plenty of good years ahead.
