The 81-year-old singer-songwriter, former member of the famous duo Simon
Paul Simon spoke to the London daily The Times about his recent deafness. He reportedly lost his hearing during the writing period of his latest album Seven Psalms, which has just been released.
“Pretty suddenly, I lost most of the hearing in my left ear, and no one could give me an explanation for that,” he said. So everything got more complicated. »

“The songs that I don’t want to sing, I don’t sing them, but sometimes there are songs that I like, but at a certain point of my tour, I think to myself: what the hell? are you crazy, Paul? It’s often when I sing You Can Call Me Al… I say to myself: you’re like a Paul Simon cover, go home. »
