Singer Neil Diamond assured his Columbus fans that they would receive a
refund on their tickets, after he performed with a hoarse voice.
According to reports, the 67-year-old singer attended the concert
at Ohio State University
without mentioning to his fans that he was suffering from acute laryngitis. He
continued singing in a raspy and hoarse voice despite his health problem.
Several upset members of the audience left the Monday
concert early, when seeing that the star was not up to their expectations.
On his official website, the singer of “Sweet Caroline”
apologized to his fans in Columbus,
asking them to give him a few days to figure out a way to make it up to them.
“I
haven't let you down before and I wont let you down now. Until you hear from me
again remember, You are the sun. I am the moon. You are the words. I am the
tune. Forgive me. I love you. Neil,” the statement read.
Diamond spokeswoman Eve Samuels informed the concertgoers
that the singer will offer a refund to all those who place a request before
Sept.5.
Diamond also postponed upcoming concerts scheduled for
August 27 at Green
Bay Resch
Center and an August 29 date at Scottrade Center St. Louis. The concerts
were rescheduled on September 12 and, respectively, on September 10.
Diamond received a Sammy Cahn Lifetime
Achievement Award in 2000.
