    Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Neil Diamond today announced his retirement from touring due to his recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Based on his doctors’ advice, the third leg of Diamond’s 50th Anniversary tour, set to land in Australia
    and New Zealand this March, has been cancelled.

    “It is with great reluctance and disappointment that I announce my retirement from concert touring,” he said in a statement. “I have been so honored to bring my shows to the public for the past 50 years. My sincerest apologies to everyone who
    purchased tickets and were planning to come to the upcoming shows.

    “I plan to remain active in writing, recording and other projects for a long time to come.

    “My thanks goes out to my loyal and devoted audiences around the world. You will always have my appreciation for your support and encouragement. This ride has been ‘so good, so good, so good’ thanks to you.”
