It has been revealed that American singer-songwriter Neil Diamond will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, along with music stalwarts Alice Cooper and Tom Waites.
The singer, who turned 70, last Monday, has one of the biggest back-catalogues in the music biz and if anything, his accolade is a tad overdue. Nevertheless, Sirius XFM recently announced, in honour of the crooner’s birthday and latest award, that they were launching a Neil Diamond Radio, which will play only the musician’s hits.
The news comes after an impressive few months for the singer who headlined the BBC’s famous Electric Proms back in October.
