THE NIGHT TWO VOICES THAT DEFINED DECADES SANG THEIR LAST SONG TOGETHER. Last Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl, two wheelchairs rolled slowly into the spotlight. Phil Collins. Neil Diamond. Both men frail, both smiling as if sharing an old secret. The audience didn’t cheer — they just listened. “Phil,” Neil said softly, “I thought the road had ended.” Phil smiled back. “Maybe it has… but we can still sing from here.” And then it began — “You’ll Be in My Heart” melting gently into “Sweet Caroline.” Their voices cracked like aging vinyl, yet each note shimmered with the weight of a lifetime. The screens behind them flickered through the years: 1985. 1972. A thousand memories, one final harmony. When the last chord faded, Phil reached out his hand. Neil took it — two trembling fingers locking time itself. “You see,” Neil whispered, “music never retires.” The lights dimmed. Silence fell. But somewhere in that darkness, two voices kept singing — for anyone who still believes that some goodbyes can sound like grace.
