The Simon & Garfunkel tour that had been set for July has now been postponed indefinitely. The tour, originally set for April and then rescheduled for July, is now on hold as Art Garfunkel continues to recover from a vocal paresis. According to his doctors, Art is expected to make a full recovery, however they cannot predict an exact timeline. This condition (paresis) inhibits the duo from performing shows at the highest possible level and it is for that reason and out of respect for their fans that Paul and Art have decided to put the tour on hold.

Simon & Garfunkel regret any inconvenience this has caused their fans and are looking forward to rescheduling the dates when Art fully recovers. Art says, “I do feel bad about disrupting so many people’s plans but, as I continue to mend, I can’t yet bring my ‘A Game’ to a tour, and I would not perform for you with anything less.”

Tickets can be refunded at place of purchase or call your local venue.

Simon & Garfunkel have announced two new performances, in Green Bay, Wisconsin (July 15), and Lenox, Massachusetts (July 27).

According to an interview on WFDU radio with the band Quicksilver Paul recorded with them a kind of Afro-Cuban song with bluegrass instruments.

Interesting is also, that Paul Simon seems to like youtube, he decided to contact the band Quicksilver after watching some clips on youtube, which Jerry Douglas recommended to him to watch for his search of a bluegrass band.

What makes these news even more exciting is a statement by Josh from Quicksilver - they hope that they can go on tour with Paul, after the album comes out in the Fall!

Paul Simon will play some songs for the students at the Brandheis University (Waltham, MS, USA) on May 23.

The students have started a facebook campaign which requests Paul to sing. Later the rector contacted Pauls management and he seemed to be happy fulfilling this wish.

Paul will also receive an honorary degree at the ceremony.

Art Garfunkel has hand picked the perfect playlist from his solo catalogue; a career-spanning collection of beautifully remastered material.The Playlist series releases are environmentally-friendly (no plastic, 100% recycled paper) - but there are full liner notes, photos and more – included as a PDF file on the CD.

The official release is June 1, but this item is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.

The Simon & Garfunkel USA & Canada tour originally scheduled for April - May is being postponed due to a vocal strain recently sustained by Art Garfunkel.

Here are new tour dates.
