Singer and songwriter Neil Diamond is offering audiences of a recent Ohio concert a refund and asking for their forgiveness after he performed with a raspy voice earlier this week.
Diamond, 67, was diagnosed with acute laryngitis after the August 25 show in Columbus, Ohio, and the "Sweet Caroline" singer released a statement on his website Tuesday apologizing to fans through the lyrics of his past hit, "Play Me."
"
Dear Fans in Columbus, I haven't let you down before and I won't let you down now,"
Diamond said. "
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."
His laryngitis prognosis 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.
Diamond's spokeswoman said in a statement that Columbus fans who attended the show have until September 5 to seek a refund for their tickets.
