Paul Simon Had Surgery After Canceling Shows Over 'Chronic and Intense' Pain


Paul Simon briefly put his tour on pause after having to undergo back surgery to address 'chronic and intense' pain

A statement from Simon’s team on Thursday, July 3, confirmed that the musician, 83, had successful surgery after suffering from “severe back pain,” which caused him to cancel his June 27 and 28 shows in Philadelphia. The post noted that the decision to move the concert back by one day was made out of “an abundance of caution” and that all tickets will be accepted for the rescheduled date. “However, we are hopeful after this minor surgical procedure which has been scheduled in the next few days, Paul will be able to complete the tour as well as look into returning to make up these dates,” the statement continued.
