Paul Simon preparing for retirement
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 30 June 2016
Paul Simon may be preparing to retire, following a final tour to promote his recently released new album, ‘Stranger To Stranger’.
Speaking to the New York Times, he said: “You’re coming towards the end. Showbiz doesn’t hold any interest for me. None”.
While that does sound fairly final, he added: “It’s an act of courage to let go. I am going to see what happens if I let go. Then I’m going to see, who am I? Or am I just this person that was defined by what I did? And if that’s gone, if you have to make up yourself, who are you?”
