Neil Diamond has led a life worthy of a musical, so he got one on Broadway. However, it is not good enough for the big screen. So instead, the legendary singer is getting one with Hugh Jackman impersonating him.
Based on a true story, two down-on-their-luck musicians (Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson) form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams.
Song Sung Blue will be singing its way into theaters on Christmas Day. Because nothing says Jewish Christmas like seeing a movie about a Goy impersonating a Jew who sings Christmas songs.
Neil Diamond’s bio-musical A Beautiful Noise is playing at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood, and they got a surprise on Saturday afternoon. The singer was in the audience and ready to sing his tune Sweet Caroline with the crowd, making a fun day even more fun for all!
His appearance was extra special because the 84-year-old was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2018 and has not done many public appearances since then.
Seeing him looking so good was a beautiful sight. Hearing him sing was a beautiful noise.
One of Metallica’s most famous singles is Enter Sandman. However, it is not the type of tune that puts you to sleep.
What type of genre does do that? Adult contemporary, so that would be songs like Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline.
Therefore, I never thought I would hear the Heavy Metal band perform a song you could listen to in an elevator. But that is what James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett did at their Foxboro, Massachusettes show on Sunday night.
And since they are the Master of Puppets, the audience sang along. But then again, who doesn’t sing along to the chorus of that song?
So, I guess you can say Diamond was the Master of Puppets way before they were.
Oh, and since I hate Metallica, can we all agree that this proved Hetfield cannot sing anything but Metal?
Sunday was opening night on Broadway for A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical and the man himself came out to see it. The audience was already in for a treat, but they got more than that when he decided to sing Sweet Caroline with them.
Since Diamond revealed that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2018, he rarely sings in public anymore. Therefore, this had to be so thrilling for everyone in the Broadhurst Theatre, including the cast, who sing his songs every day, but Monday.
I think Neil Diamond still sounds great, and I wish, if he is healthy enough, would do a residency in Los Angeles. I would love to see him sing because I have always heard it is an experience. And it is all about me.
Sweet Caroline is a mainstay at baseball games. Therefore, when the singer was spotted at the Red Sox game over the weekend, they asked him to sing his song. And he did. Much to the delight of everyone at Fenway Park.
Although, they all wished that Will Swenson, who is playing the beloved singer in the biocal A Beautiful Noise, would shut the fuck up.
Swenson is lucky they weren’t in The Bronx because Yankees fans would not have put up with that bullshit. Is it too late to recast him?
Back to Diamond, he looks and sounds great. This is the first time we saw him perform since 2018, the year he revealed that he is battling Parkinson’s.
