The famed singer-songwriting duo of Simon and Garfunkle have decided to reunite. Rolling Stone is reporting that the New York natives are getting back together to play this year’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The pair will perform April 24th, on the festival’s second day.
Every now and then the "old friends" decide to reunite. In 2003, Simon and Garfunkle went on tour together on what was called the Old Friends tour. Last year the pair got together twice, once Garfunkle joined Simon for an encore at Paul Simon’s concert at the Beacon Theater in NYC. The other time was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 25 anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden.
The childhood friends from Queens have had a famously rocky relationship. After many years producing some of the best music of the 20th century, the two began to focus more on their separate careers and broke up.
Their most famous reunification was a free concert in Central Park in 1981, that had a crowd of over half a million people.
This author hopes that a new tour or album may be in the works, but is not going to hold his breath.
