You must have heard about the TV show called An Audience With…? In case you don’t, we’re here to fill you up!
It is a very famous UK show that began in 1980. The idea is simple but very cool: one big superstar stands on a stage, and the entire audience is filled with other celebrities!
Instead of regular fans, the people in the seats are famous actors, singers, and comedians. They get to ask the star questions, and the star has to sing their best songs. It is a night where the biggest names in the world act like normal fans.
In 2008, it was finally Neil Diamond’s turn. He walked out in a black suit, looking like a total legend. The room was packed with stars like Dame Judi Dench, Johnny Vegas, and the guy who wrote the music for The Lion King, Sir Tim Rice.
Neil didn’t just talk; he sang his heart out. He performed his massive hits like “Sweet Caroline” and “Cracklin’ Rosie.” Every famous person in that room was standing up, clapping, dancing and singing along just like we do at home while listening to his songs!
You might not be invited then, but you can watch the whole show right here!

But you know what the best part of the night?!
It was when the famous dancer, Craig Revel Horwood, stood up. He asked Neil about one of the most romantic moments in history: The night Neil Diamond danced with Princess Diana.
Neil smiled and told a beautiful story. He said they met at the White House for a big party. Neil was actually very nervous! He told the audience that he was just a “kid from Brooklyn” and didn’t have the nerve to ask a Princess to dance.
But then, something amazing happened. Princess Diana asked him! She told him she was a huge fan of his music. Neil said she was “extraordinary” and a very “kind human being.” Even though he has met thousands of people, he said dancing with her was an honor he would never forget.
