A clip of Neil Diamond<\/a> kissing a fan at a 2002 concert has resurfaced, leaving fans well and truly creeped out. <\/p>\n

The Sweet Caroline hitmaker, 84, <\/a>was performing his song<\/a> Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon, when he got a fan to join him by the stage. <\/p>\n

What unfolded is what TikTok<\/a> users commenting on the video<\/a> are calling the ‘most uncomfortable 20 seconds’ of their lives, as Neil caressed the fan’s face and hands, and kissed her passionately between lines while kneeling on the stage. <\/p>\n

As the song came to a close, fans noted how it ‘didn’t look like she was super into him kissing him in the end’ and called it an uncomfortable watch. <\/p>\n

‘It is the arrogance that he believes every woman in the audience fancies him,’ fumed an unnamed user. <\/p>\n

‘I really like Neil Diamond but this is pretty creepy,’ added Alaskan Leo, while former fan seanannakins said: ‘Literally have just gone right off Neil Diamond.’ <\/p>\n

‘As if the lyrics weren’t weird enough, now we’re blessed with this,’ said Lee, while Big G said: ‘That is possibly the most uncomfortable 20 seconds of my life.’ <\/p>\n

The lyrics to the song, further popularised by an outing on Pulp Fiction, go: ‘Please, come take my hand \/ Girl, you’ll be a woman soon \/ Soon, you’ll need a man.’ <\/p>\n

In a concert review of the Ice Palace concert in 2002, the Tampa Bay Times<\/a> wrote that the performance ‘found Diamond lip-locked with one young blonde who approached the stage.’ <\/p>\n

It continued: ‘Those tender kisses turned into a make-out session so steamy, afterward Diamond asked the crowd for a cigarette.’ <\/p>\n

In an almost identical situation in 2011, Diamond also crouched down again to kiss a female fan in a performance of the same song. <\/p>\n

The Daily Mail <\/a>reported at the time that after kissing her twice, he fell back on stage and asked: ‘Am I in heaven?’ <\/p>\n

He was also reported to have said: \u2018You kiss very good, wow are all the girls in this area like you?\u2019<\/p>\n

After she confirmed she was from London, Diamond was then reported to have said: ‘\u00a0\u2018I\u2019ll be in London in a matter of days.\u2019 <\/p>\n

In 2018, Diamond revealed he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s<\/a> – \u00a0a degenerative neurological disorder that affects the body\u2019s motor system, often causing shaking and movement difficulty. <\/p>\n

At the time, he was forced to cancel shows in Australia and New Zealand on doctor\u2019s orders while part-way through his 50th-anniversary tour.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on his website he thanked his \u2018loyal and devoted\u2019 fans<\/a>\u00a0for their support.<\/p>\n
