‘I was a fool’: Art Garfunkel describes tearful reunion with Paul Simon


Singer describes recent meeting where Simon said he was offended by an old interview, and pair reconciled

Photograph: BMGSimon & Garfunkel were one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed duos in US history, part of a mid-1960s generation who turned folk music into a pop cultural phenomenon. But they had a fractious relationship, starting towards the beginning of their partnership, with a solo single Simon recorded under a pseudonym: “The friendship was shattered for life … I never forget, and I never really forgive,” Garfunkel later wrote in his memoir. Simon, 83, has retired from touring, and even one-off live performances were imperilled by hearing loss he began experiencing during the recording of 2023 album Seven Psalms.
