Acute laryngitis is the diagnosis for Neil Diamond's condition that led to him offering refunds for a concert he gave at Ohio State on Monday.
The AP reports:
Some fans left the Monday concert early and others said Diamond completed the concert without mentioning anything to the audience about his voice. Diamond spokeswoman Eve Samuels says the singer is offering a refund to those who place a request before Sept. 5. "I haven't let you down before and I won't let you down now," the singer said in an apology on his Web site.

Knowing it's a swing state, Neil begs Ohio for forgiveness and of course more than 125 fans immediately grant him his wish. He will resume his tour on Sept. 10.
