Neil Diamond called out for ‘creepy’ behavior with female fan in resurfaced footage

Footage from a 2002 Neil Diamond concert has gone viral on TikTok – with fans calling his behavior with a fan as ‘creepy.’

The singer, now 84, was seen in the clip, shared by account ‘Oldmansrock,’ was seen holding a fan’s hand and singing to her directly.

At one point, he kisses her hand as she leans onto the stage, before touching her face and caressing – eventually planting a kiss on her and holding her face to hers.

He appeared to hold her hand as he sang to her, as she looked him in the eye.

She tells him thank you and runs off excited back to her seat. 

Fans took to the comments to call it ‘hard to watch and not in a good way,’ as well as noting that the fan ‘didn’t look like she was super into him kissing him in the end.’

‘Soon you’ll need a lawyer,’ one fan wrote.

‘Well that was awkward,’ a commenter wrote, while another said ‘her husband in the audience be like,’ adding eyes emoji.

A fan put the lyrics in question too, writing: ‘As if the lyrics aren’t weird enough, now we’re blessed with this.’

He was singing the song ‘Girl you’ll be a woman soon.’

‘Girl you’ll be a woman soon. I love you so much, can’t count all the ways. I’ve died for you girl and all they can say is “He’s not your kind.”‘

‘They never get tired of putting me down, And I’ll never know what I come around. What I’m gonna find out. Don’t let them make up your mind. Don’t you know,’ he sang.
