Barbra Streisand Breaks Down Singing Farewell to Her Late Friend Robert Redford

— The Room is Left in Tears as Barbra Finishes the Song.

At the deeply emotional funeral of Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand stepped forward to sing "The Way We Were" — a song that held special meaning between the two long-time friends — as her final tribute. But just after a few lines, her voice cracked. Overcome with emotion, Barbra could not hold back her sobs. In front of the mourners and flickering candles, she collapsed.

From the guest rows, Neil Diamond — Barbra’s longtime friend and colleague — rushed to her side. Without a word, he picked up a nearby guitar and gently strummed the unfinished chords, his eyes glistening.

Near the casket, James Brolin — Barbra’s husband — held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with sorrow. That image — of friendship, grief, and one last song shared — brought the entire room to tears. It wasn’t just a goodbye. It was the end of an era, and the heartbreak was felt by everyone present.

I'm not seeing anything in the news about Redford's funeral having taken place and this particular source looks really, really shady.

The only place I'm seeing this story about Streisand/Diamond/Brolin turn up in searches is from that source and DU.
