Paul Simon Retires From Touring After Health Concerns

Paul Simon has announced a farewell tour — joining aging artists like Aretha Franklin, Elton John and Neil Diamond giving up the road amid concerns about their health!

The 76-year-old pop legend — who earlier gave up touring with longtime partner Art Garfunkel after decades of bitter feuding — announced on Feb. 5 that he'll be commence a series of final shows as part of a "Homeward Bound World Tour." He added that the decision was "a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating, and something of a relief." The announcement was also unexpected after a successful 2017 summer tour that followed health concerns!

The National ENQUIRER reported how Paul had fans worrying over several appearances — including one at the 2016 Democratic National Convention that had them saying he "seemed sick!" He had also been mocked for what appeared to be recent plastic surgery that had left his face frozen. At the same time, Paul himself admitted that he's "coming towards the end."

Paul will say farewell to North America first with a tour beginning on May 16th in Vancouver, and currently set to end in Nashville on June 20. A big finish is planned for July 15th in London that also promises appearance by James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt.
