A Tragic Birthday for Aaron Neville

Posted at 9:11 AM on January 24, 2007 by Dale Connelly (2 Comments)

Not only is it Neil Diamond’s birthday today, but the warbly-voiced Aaron Neville is also 66.
Sadly, Mr. Neville and the Neville Brothers will miss this year’s New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, due to health concerns and the recent death of Aaron Neville’s wife, Joel. The New Orleans Times-Picayune told a lovely story about their long, sometimes tumultuous relationship. "She tamed me," he said.

I miss Aaron coming to Newport for the jazz festival. I hope he comes back to RI or New England.

Rosemary Petteruti wants to know if Aaron Neville will be coming to Newport this summer. I know Linda Rondstat will be there for the festival, they sing so well together!
