Paul Simon to return for US tour despite retirement and severe hearing loss

However, he’s now announced he’ll be hitting the road for four months, starting 4th April through to 2nd August, including extended stays in New York’s Beacon Theatre and Los Angeles’s Walt Disney Concert Hall.

The 56-date tour starts in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the Saenger Theater.

Simon’s return comes just days after he made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary Special, where he performed with Sabrina Carpenter on Sunday 16th February.

Together, the pair recreated his iconic Simon & Garfunkel track Homeward Bound in front of an all-celebrity crowd of former SNL cast members and guest stars, including Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Martin Short and Meryl Streep.

The pair opened the evening’s festivities, with Simon commenting: "I sang this song with George Harrison on Saturday Night Live in 1976."

"I was not born then," Carpenter joked. "And neither were my parents."

Here’s where you can catch Paul Simon performing this year:
