DIAMOND WANTS HALL OF FAME ACCOLADE

Veteran crooner NEIL DIAMOND is desperate to land a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame - because he thinks he has 'paid his dues' to the music industry.

Neil Diamond performing live on NBC's 'The Today Show' Toyota Concert Series held at the Rockefeller Plaza. New York City, USA - 02.05.08

The Sweet Caroline singer is keen to be awarded the prestigious recognition - which Madonna was inducted into in New York in March (08) - because he has been considered by the judges for nearly 20 years.

The star is disappointed he is continually turned down by the panel - even though he thinks he has made a very significant contribution to the industry.

He says, "It makes me wonder. I've paid my dues, I think, and I think I've done good work. I'd like to be in there with my peers.

"Maybe you just have to keep doing it and I'll get in there some day."
