The Grammy-winning musician, 81, said he might stop playing because of his hearing loss.
Paul Simon revealed that his left ear suffers from severe hearing loss.
The Grammy-winning musician, who is 81 years old, revealed the information in an interview with The Times and stated that he is not sure of the cause.
According to him, nobody knows why he suddenly lost the majority of his hearing in his left ear. As a result, things became harder. That annoyed and frustrated me, but I wasn’t particularly angry about it because I thought it would go away and get fixed. ”.
Simon claimed to have lost his hearing while working on his most recent album, Seven Psalms, which was released last week. Guitarist who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had hoped that his hearing would get better on its own, but it hasn’t.
He then asserted that the hearing loss will probably affect his performances and enable him to avoid playing music he doesn’t like.
Simon acknowledged he might not be able to go on tour again due to his advanced age and the recent deaths of musicians Gordon Lightfoot and Jeff Beck.
The “Graceland” singer reportedly told the publication that “my generation’s time is up.”.
Simon asserted that he is doing well despite his hearing loss and recovery from a severe case of COVID and that he is not yet ready to leave.
Boy, have I been abused these last few years, he said. But I think I look okay.
