Neil Diamond turns 77 Wednesday. He announced earlier this week that he's suffering from Parkinson's disease.
The diagnosis means that he'll no longer tour the world playing shows.
But as he told fans on his website, he has no plans to stop writing and recording music — and that's coming from a man whose career already spans more than 30 studio albums.
