To the delight of his millions of fans, legendary singer, songwriter and performer
Neil Diamond will return to concert stages this summer for a 37-city North America tour, promoted nationally by AEG Live. Tickets for the North America tour, scheduled to kick off July 19 in St. Paul, Minnesota, are on sale for now. The North American leg follows a series of European dates starting May 24 in Rotterdam, with new dates recently added to accommodate an overwhelming demand for tickets.
With a four-decade long career that has seen more than 125 million records sold worldwide, 36 Top 40 hits, a Grammy, a Golden Globe and thousands of sold-out shows all over the globe,
Neil Diamond remains one of the most vital and innovative forces in modern music. The 2008 summer tour will deliver a familiar yet unique fan experience featuring amazing production, innovative stage design and, of course, an unparalleled set list of Diamond's most beloved hits. In addition to classics such as "Sweet Caroline," "I'm a Believer," and "Cherry, Cherry," Diamond will perform new, never before performed live songs from his upcoming, highly anticipated album, Home Before Dark, his second collaboration with renowned producer Rick Rubin, to be released by Columbia Records on May 6.
Diamond's prolific body of work includes "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" (the powerful duet with
Barbra Streisand), "I Am, I Said" and "Cracklin' Rosie," as well as hits from his album and movie The Jazz Singer ("America," "Love on the Rocks") and from his acclaimed 2005 album 12 Songs. The album marked his first project with Rubin, which entered the Billboard Top 200 at No. 4 – marking Diamond's highest-charting debut to date – and offered a stripped-down, emotionally honest and passionately compelling approach that continues on Home Before Dark. His latest release, Home Before Dark reached #1 on the Billboard charts the week of its release.
