    The 67-year-old singer has been designated as the charity's person of the year in honor of his philanthropic work. MusiCares, the charitable arm of the group that organizes the Grammys, helps musicians with health and financial problems.

    Previous honorees have included Billy Joel, Bonnie Raitt, Elton John and Brian Wilson.

    Diamond is currently on tour to promote his second Rick Rubin-produced album "Home Before Dark," which debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop chart in May. The feat made Diamond the oldest living artist to reach the top of the chart.
