(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Legendary singer, songwriterand
performer Neil Diamond today announced his retirement from touring due
to his recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. The onset of the disease
has made it difficult to travel and perform on a large scale basis but
will allow Mr. Diamond to continue his writing, recording and
development of new projects. 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. I have been so honored to bring my shows to the public for the past 50 years,” said Neil Diamond. “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 go 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.”
The Australia and New Zealand leg of the 50th Anniversary tour (announced by TEG Dainty inNovember, 2017) was
scheduled to visit a number of outdoor stadiums as well as arena and
winery shows in Australia and New Zealand. This would have been the
third leg of the 50th Anniversary tour with Diamond selling out shows in
the U.S. and Europe throughout 2017.

one of the world’s greatest artists and we and his thousands and
thousands of fans here will miss seeing him tour down under.”
