Simon & Garfunkel: Last News

their farewell trek, the “End of the Road World Tour” at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2023, but their legacy lives on in the sons of frontmen Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.That’s right: Nick Simmons, 36, and Evan Stanley, 30, are following in their fathers’ footsteps — without the face paint — by coming together in musical harmony, and the two dads are loving this unexpected Kiss connection.“You know, they both have their own bands,” Simmons told The Post about his son’s Sym Fera and Stanley’s Amber Wild.But of course, they have plenty of Kiss-story together.“Both have been pals because they went to see their dads work since they were little boys,” said Simmons. “And they never thought about getting together, just strumming and humming and all that.”While they are now rolling together, they aren’t exactly rocking like their fathers.

Art Garfunkel has opened up to NME about ending “years of detachment” from Paul Simon, recalled “the high point of [his] career” as part of the iconic duo, and discussed starting a new chapter with his recent collaborative album.Speaking on the promotional trail for ‘Father And Son’ – a covers record made with his son, Art Garfunkel Jr – the music legend reflected on the “wonderful moment” Simon & Garfunkel buried the hatchet and were reunited once more.“We ended years of estrangement with a lot of sweet candour,” Garfunkel recalled of his emotional meeting with Simon.The folk-rock duo are no strangers to fallouts during their lifelong friendship and professional partnership. Although they have reconvened numerous times since the band originally split in 1970, relations between the two are notoriously volatile.

Paul Simon has opened up about his decision to retire hit song ‘You Can Call Me Al’.The Simon and Garfunkel singer-songwriter has grown distant from some of his most iconic songs over the years. However, of all the hits he has taken a step back from, it is ‘You Can Call Me Al’ that he has fully retired from his live shows.It was released back in 1986 from his groundbreaking album ‘Graceland’, and soon went on to become one of the defining tracks from his solo career.

Paul Simon has spoken out about his experience performing with near-total hearing loss.The Simon and Garfunkel singer-songwriter was diagnosed with hearing loss whilst recording 2023 song cycle ‘Seven Psalms’, and has since tried to find a solution for performing live with the disability.Now, Simon has spoken about his hearing impairment with CBS Mornings, admitting his journey with hearing loss was initially “incredibly frustrating”.“I was very angry at first that this had happened,” Simon admitted, adding: “I guess what I’m most apprehensive about would be if I can’t hear well enough to really enjoy the act of making music.”Simon also told CBS Mornings that he was “going through my repertoire and reducing a lot of the choices that I make to acoustic versions.”“It’s all much quieter,” he continued. “It’s not ‘You Can Call Me Al.’ That’s gone.

Art Garfunkel has revealed that a recent reunion with Paul Simon left him in tears, feeling he had “hurt” his former musical partner.Simon & Garfunkel were one of the best-selling acts of the 1960s, selling over 100 million records and recording timeless hits such as ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, ‘The Sound of Silence’ and ‘Mrs. Robinson’.However, they also became known for their troubled relationship, with artistic disagreements leading to their breakup in 1970.

“The Sound of Silence” — the chart-topping classic that had Simon & Garfunkel making all kinds of noise after their 1964 debut.“I used to go into the bathroom of my parents’ house. There was tile on the wall, and I’d turn the water on,” recalls Paul Simon — who wrote the duo’s first hit — in the two-part documentary “In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon,” which premieres on MGM+ Sunday and continues on March 24.“And the tile made the echo, and the water was like a white noise sound.

The Times of London.The 16-time Grammy winner, who penned some of the biggest tracks for the duo Simon & Garfunkel, said he began to lose his hearing while working on his new album “Seven Psalms” — released last week.The hearing loss will likely take a toll on touring, he says, and will force him to avoid performing songs he doesn’t like.“The songs of mine that I don’t want to sing live, I don’t sing them,” he explained. “Sometimes there are songs that I like and then at a certain point in a tour, I’ll say, ‘What the f— are you doing, Paul?’ Quite often that would come during ‘You Can Call Me Al.’ I’d think, ‘What are you doing? You’re like a Paul Simon cover band.
