What they're saying:
"It was during the recording of Seven Psalms, as revealed in the acclaimed In Restless Dreams documentary, that Simon began to steadily lose the hearing in his left ear which initially made extended live performances impossible. Together with the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss, and his own production team, Simon redesigned his entire stage set up to make performing viable," according to the Paul Simon website.
All shows on sale Friday, Feb. 21st at 10 a.m. local time. For more information and to purchase tickets can be found on his website.
