Singer Neil Diamond has announced he will retire from touring, after a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Diamond, who turns 77 on Wednesday, cancelled his March tour dates for Australia and New Zealand on medical advice. The Solitary Man singer was midway through his 50th anniversary tour. In a statement he said he took the decision "with great reluctance and disappointment". "I have been so honoured to bring my shows to the public for the past 50 years," he said. "My sincerest apologies to everyone who purchased tickets and were planning to come to the upcoming shows." Parkinson's is a progressive condition in which the brain becomes damaged. It can lead to tremors, difficulty moving, speech changes and eventually memory problems.

I'm sorry he has Parkinsons, I never grew up with his music but I enjoyed listening to his songs from the radio. :(

He has not been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. That takes a post mortem brain examination.
He has been more correctly diagnosed with Parkinson Syndrome or Parkinsonism.

Getting Parkinson Syndrome was the Last Thing on His Mind.
I guess he's now A Believer.
