Simon Says Garfunkel Reunion Is “Out Of The Question”
Paul Simon is heading out on a big tour next week in support of his upcoming album Stranger To Stranger. The last two shows of the tour will be at Forest Hills Stadium, in the same Queens neighborhood where Simon and Art Garfunkel grew up and first met. “It’s the first big concert venue we ever played,” Simon tells Rolling Stone in a new interview. “It was also where the final Simon And Garfunkel took place before the reunions that came many years later.” But if you’re hoping for a surprise reunion at Forest Hills Stadium, well, maybe stop hoping. They haven’t played together since 2010 and have seemed to hate each other for a while now — in an interview with The Telegraph last year, Garfunkel called Simon an “idiot” and a “jerk” and said that he “created a monster” by befriending him in grade school. And when Simon was asked if he’d be open to another reunion at some point, all he had to say was this: “No, out of the question. We don’t even talk.”
