Paul Simon Performs at Charity Event in New York

Paul Simon performed a rare live show at The Soho Sessions in New York City on Monday night, raising funds for the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss. The intimate concert featured a seven-song set including classics like 'Mrs. Robinson' and 'The Boxer', and was attended by notable figures such as Whoopi Goldberg and Jerry Seinfeld. Simon, who has faced significant hearing loss, expressed the frustration of his condition but still delivered a heartfelt performance, aided by former Yankees player Bernie Williams on a whistling solo. The event, which has become an ongoing series of charity concerts, aims to promote various causes while showcasing musical talent. Simon's participation marks a significant return to the stage after limited performances since his 2018 retirement from touring. Guests were encouraged to donate to the initiative through QR codes displayed around the venue.
