Superstar Barbra Streisand once abandoned her music career because she forgot the lines to her greatest hits live onstage.
The diva quit the music scene in the late 1960s following the incident and only returned three years later following the introduction of modern technology.
“I was once doing a concert in Central Park when I forgot the words to one of my songs,” she says. “It frightened me so much that I didn’t sing again in public for three years. Then, as soon as they invented the teleprompter, I came back.”
