Neil Diamond's Parkinson's diagnosis

He is canceling a tour of Australia. But, he plans to continue to write and record new songs. That's good news. Others lose their ability to sing entirely. We can't lose this distinctive voice just yet. Best of luck, Neil.

I don't know if Neil Diamond's diagnosis came too late. But then again, Linda Ronstadt was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2012, and just over five years later, she's still with us.

One cool story to come out of this is the response from Neil's fans. Many of them are taking the refund money from their ticket purchases and donating it to charities that support Parkinson's research. People magazine's site has a good article:
