In recent news, Paul Simon revealed that he is experiencing a loss of hearing in his left ear. In his words, he can more or less not hear anything from this particular ear.
While giving a recent interview, the musician opened up about how difficult it has been for him to experience hearing loss.
According to Paul, this happened all of a sudden. Despite his visiting a number of doctors, no one has been able to give him an answer as to why this is happening. Thus, he has been struggling quite a bit.
The legendary singer and songwriter also talked about how he had expected the ear to repair itself as time passed, but the condition has not changed at all.
As a result, Paul has been debating whether or not he should be performing live on stage.
In addition, he added that he has grown tired of singing a couple of his old tracks, due to the fact that he has performed them so many times.
The 81-year-old further continued that there are a number of his songs that he simply does not like performing. He talked about how he has been in the middle of a performance at times and thought about what he was doing.
The singer also confided that in these moments of self-doubt, the voice in his head tells him to quit performing on the road and go back home. But, he managed to push through somehow.
Earlier in the month, the musician also released his fifteenth studio album, another solo, named Seven Psalms.
