“As an artiste, it’s my job to create great music and put it out there,” Diamond told the crowd. “Failure isn’t something to hate on—it’s a chance to push harder, do better, and figure out where we went wrong.”

He continued, “Next year, who knows? We might not just get a nomination, but we could walk away with 10 Grammy awards.”
