Health concerns are forcing a beloved musician to retire from touring.
Neil Diamond has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and says he is cancelling his 50th anniversary tour dates in Australia and New Zealand, offering his 'sincerest apologies' to everyone who had planned on attending.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer plans to keep writing and recording 'for a long time to come.'
Diamond will be 77 tomorrow.
He will also be given the lifetime achievement award at the Grammy's on Sunday.
