Paul Simon Resumes Touring After Back Surgery

Paul Simon, 83, is recovering well after successful back surgery for severe chronic pain, which led to the cancellation of two Philadelphia shows from his 'A Quiet Celebration' tour. The surgery went as expected, though Simon requires an extra day of rest, resulting in the rescheduling of his July 7 Long Beach concert to July 8. Ticket holders for the rescheduled show can use their original tickets or request refunds. This tour marks Simon’s return to performing after his 2018 retirement due to hearing loss, and his stage setup has been adjusted to support his health needs. Simon and his team remain optimistic about his recovery and his ability to finish the tour, which features music from his latest album alongside classic hits. Despite recent setbacks, Simon is committed to continuing his tour and performing for his fans.
