LOS ANGELES: Singer and songwriter Neil Diamond is offering audiences of a recent Ohio concert a refund after his raspy voice caused some unhappiness amongst fans.
Some even left during the 67-year-old’s performance on Monday.
Diamond’s spokeswoman said a refund will be given to those who place a request before September 5.
“Dear Fans in Columbus, I haven’t let you down before and I won’t let you down now,” Diamond apologised on his website.
Diagnosed with acute laryngitis, his ailment also forced Diamond to cancel two concerts this week in Green Bay, Wisconsin and St Louis, Missouri. Both concerts have been rescheduled for dates in September.
His heydays in the 1960s and 1970s saw the New York City native writing popular radio tunes for 1960s pop group “The Monkees” and his hits include “Kentucky Woman” and “Sweet Caroline”, which was inspired by a childhood picture of Caroline Kennedy.
“Sweet Caroline” is the theme song of the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
