A Neil Diamond concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas took a dramatic and alarming turn last night when his longtime guitarist, Angurish, unexpectedly announced his departure from the band before collapsing on stage.
The incident occurred during a performance of one of Diamond’s iconic hits, as the band played to a packed house. Angurish, who has been a staple of Neil Diamond’s band for over a decade, stunned the audience when he suddenly stepped forward and declared, “This will be my final show with Neil.”
Just moments after his abrupt announcement, Angurish collapsed, causing immediate concern and confusion among the audience and band members. Emergency medical personnel were called to the stage and quickly attended to the musician. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital, where his condition remains undisclosed.
Neil Diamond, visibly shaken by the turn of events, addressed the audience shortly after. “This is a tough moment for all of us,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Angurish, and we appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.” The concert was subsequently halted, and the venue was cleared as fans left in a state of shock.
The reasons behind Angurish’s sudden departure and collapse are still unclear, and no official statement has been made by his representatives or the band. The incident has sparked widespread speculation and concern among fans, many of whom took to social media to express their support and hope for Angurish’s recovery.
This unexpected event leaves the future of Neil Diamond’s tour uncertain, with fans and industry insiders awaiting further updates on both Angurish’s health and the band’s plans moving forward. The music community is rallying around the guitarist, hoping for positive news in the coming days.
