Simon and Garfunkel cancel all dates

Music legends Simon and Garfunkel have cancelled all upcoming shows due to a condition preventing Art Garfunkel from singing.

Garfunkel is suffering from Paresis, meaning his vocal chords are suffered partial loss and potential permanent damage.

It is not known at this stage if the legendary singer will ever be able to perform again.

Paul Simon is a little more optimistic than doctors saying that he expects to go back on the road when Art recovers.

His statement reads:

"The Simon & Garfunkel tour that had been set for July has now been postponed indefinitely. The tour, originally set for April and then rescheduled for July, is now on hold as Art Garfunkel continues to recover from a vocal paresis. According to his doctors, Art is expected to make a full recovery, however they cannot predict an exact timeline. This condition (paresis) inhibits the duo from performing shows at the highest possible level and it is for that reason and out of respect for their fans that Paul and Art have decided to put the tour on hold".

"Simon & Garfunkel regret any inconvenience this has caused their fans and are looking forward to rescheduling the dates when Art fully recovers. Art says, "I do feel bad about disrupting so many people's plans but, as I continue to mend, I can't yet bring my 'A Game' to a tour, and I would not perform for you with anything less."

"Tickets can be refunded at place of purchase or call your local venue".
