LOS ANGELES – Singer-songwriter Paul Simon announced on Monday he is quitting touring, saying it felt “a touch exhilarating, and something of a relief” to bring his 50-year performing career to an end.
In a Facebook posting, Simon, 76, said he would make a final tour — “Homeward Bound — The Farewell Tour” — of North America and Europe later this year. After that, the “Sounds of Silence” singer said he would do an occasional performance “in a (hopefully) acoustically pristine hall.”
