Legendary singer-songwriter\u00a0Paul Simon<\/a>\u00a0announced his final tour this spring will be the “Homeward Bound \u2013 The Farewell Tour.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve often wondered what it would feel like to reach the point where I’d consider bringing my performing career to a natural end. Now I know: it feels a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating and something of a relief,” Simon said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“I love making music, my voice is still strong, and my band is a tight, extraordinary group of gifted musicians. I think about music constantly. I am very grateful for a fulfilling career and, of course, most of all to the audiences who heard something in my music that touched their hearts.”<\/p>\n

The North American leg of Simon’s farewell tour begins May 16th in Vancouver and works its way east before concluding June 20th at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Tickets for the trek go on sale this Friday; check out\u00a0Simon’s website<\/a>\u00a0for complete ticket information.<\/p>\n

Following the North American leg, Simon and his band will go on brief tour through Europe that ends July 15th with the singer’s\u00a0previously announced “Farewell Performance” in London<\/a>\u00a0with James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt.<\/p>\n

Simon is the latest artist to reveal that they would retire from the road, following similar farewell tours\u00a0announced by Elton John<\/a>,\u00a0Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>,\u00a0Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Slayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
