So much for Paul Simon doing his farewell tour in 2018.
Fresh off performing Sunday on Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special comes A Quiet Celebration Tour that will find him doing multiple nights in 18 cities, plus one-offs in two others.
The tour will feature him performing his last album, 2023's Seven Psalms, in its entirety along with his wife, Edie Brickell, plus many of his hits.
It was during the making of that album that Simon he began to steadily lose the hearing in his left ear which initially made extended live performances impossible. Together with the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss, and his own production team, Simon redesigned his entire stage set up to make performing viable. This included moving monitors to surround him.
Backed by a nine-piece band, the tour will begin on April 4th in New Orleans and travel throughout North America and Canada, concluding in Seattle in August.
Tickets for all shows go on sale this Friday, February 21st, at 10am local time.
