“It was a thrill of a lifetime singing with Neil Diamond,” Dolenz told Digital Journal exclusively.

Micky Dolenz paid tribute to Neil Diamond by performing “I’m a Believer,” which became a smash hit for The Monkees. Diamond himself joined him during this performance.

This past June, Diamond received the coveted “Johnny Mercer Award” by the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Regarding his plans for the future, Dolenz said, “The Monkees’ Christmas Party is coming out next week via Rhino, and the aborted tour with Michael Nesmith resumes, with some possible new dates in March.”

On March 8, 2019, The Monkees will be performing at The Paramount in Huntington on Long Island.
