Neil Diamond was back at the Brooklyn high school he called a life-changing experience on Monday night, creating a log jam along Flatbush Ave. as fans lined up to see him perform in a surprise concert at Erasmus Hall High School.
The 73-year-old Diamond announced the free concert on Twitter just hours earlier, the first time he’s played Erasmus Hall since attending school there from 1954-56. “Back to Brooklyn, back to school”, Diamond tweeted.
