Simon and Garfunkel Cancel Tanglewood
Tour Postponed Because of Illness
By: Charles Giuliano - 06/17/2010
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel have canceled their July 27 concert at Tanglewood.
The Simon & Garfunkel tour that had been set for July, and included a July 27 appearance at Tanglewood, has now been postponed indefinitely. The tour, originally set for April and then rescheduled for July, is now on hold as Art Garfunkel continues to recover from a vocal paresis. According to his doctors, Art is expected to make a full recovery, however they cannot predict an exact timeline. This condition (paresis) inhibits the duo from performing shows at the highest possible level and it is for that reason and out of respect for their fans that Paul and Art have decided to put the tour on hold.
Simon & Garfunkel regret any inconvenience this has caused their fans and are looking forward to rescheduling the dates when Art fully recovers. Art says, “I do feel bad about disrupting so many people’s plans but, as I continue to mend, I can’t yet bring my ‘A Game’ to a tour, and I would not perform for you with anything less.”
Tickets for the July 27 concert at Tanglewood will automatically refunded within the next 4 days if the payment was made by credit card. If paid by cash or check, a check will be sent out on Monday, June 21. All handling fees will be refunded. No refunds will be made in person at the Box Office.
