Neil Diamond is back with some brilliant advice around self-isolating during the coronavirus pandemic.
It's been a while since we heard from Neil Diamond, so it was fantastic to see him at home chilling with his dog by the fire.
The legendary performer said in a video online: “I know we’re going through a rough time right now, but I love you, and I think maybe if we sing together we might feel a little bit better.”

He then sings a new version of ‘Sweet Caroline’, which featured the updated lyrics: “Hands, washing hands, reaching out, don’t touch me, I won’t touch you.”
Watch the full video above.
This is one of the first times we've seen Neil Diamond since he retired from public performance due to a Parkinson's diagnosis in 2018.
Neil is the latest in a long line of artists who have made music from their homes in light of the latest coronavirus pandemic.
