Veteran crooner Neil Diamond has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The 71-year-old Sweet Caroline hitmaker received the 2,475th plaque in celebration of the 40th anniversary of his groundbreaking Hot August Night live album.

Diamond was joined by wife Katie McNeil, who he married in April, as he posed by the star in front of the Capitol Records Building here. “This is probably the most fun. I didn’t have to campaign for it. They wanted me.

They opened their arms and took me in, and that makes it all the better,” Diamond said. The singer later joked about the honour on his Twitter page after the ceremony, linking to a photo from the event and writing, “Superstar-shmooperstar. Katie still makes me take out the garbage.”
