Paul Simon unlikely to perform live again due to sudden hearing loss
Paul Simon says he suffered sudden hearing loss while recording his new
album, making it unlikely that he will ever be able to tour or perform
live again.
The 81-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician and co-founder of the
folk duo Simon & Garfunkel told the British newspaper the Times that the
hearing in his left ear deteriorated while he was in the studio working on
"Seven Psalms," which came out May 19.
....
Simon, who performed one of his last live shows at San Francisco's
Outside Lands festival in 2019, added that he recently survived a severe
bout of COVID-19, which has been linked to sudden irreversible hearing
loss in some patients.

San Francisco's music scene hasn't been the same
since 21-Feb-2018 anyway [a].

that's when Billy Graham, of The Fillmore, died.
