The 81-year-old singer-songwriter and former member of the famous duo Simon & Garfunkel has reportedly recently lost the hearing in his left ear, which has affected his ability to perform live.

Paul Simon spoke to London daily The Times about his recent deafness. He is said to have lost his hearing while writing his forthcoming album Seven Psalms.
“All of a sudden I lost almost all of my hearing in my left ear and no one could explain it to me,” he said. So everything got more complicated. »
The artist, who conjures up the “frustration and irritation” that comes with this hearing loss, is philosophical in an interview and believes that maybe it’s not a bad thing since there are songs he doesn’t want to sing anymore anyway.
“I don’t sing the songs I don’t want to sing, but sometimes there are songs I like, but at a certain point in my tour I’m like, ‘But what are you crazy, Paul?'” When I sing, “You Can Call.” Me Al” I often say to myself: “You’re like a Paul Simon cover, go home.” »
