Paul Simon is coming out of touring retirement for a series of ‘farewell’ shows, due to kick off in April 2025.
Tickets are selling fast, as the American singer-songwriter, 83, famously took a hiatus from live performances back in 2018, after suffering from significant hearing loss.
Since regaining some of his hearing, the singer is working alongside the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss for the upcoming US tour and has handpicked small venues 'where acoustics are optional'.
Fans are looking forward to the comeback shows and have taken to Reddit to share their excitement.
