PAUL SIMON

He’s one of the world’s bestknown songwriters, with 16 Grammys and and not one, but two inductions in the Hall of Fame. Now Paul Simon is coming to London’s Hyde Park for what promises to be a legendary gig on his Homeward Bound: The Farewell Performance tour.

The music icon – whose 1986 solo album Graceland sold 16 million copies – will close the Barclaycard presents British Summer Time festival on July 15. His show will be the last time the 76-year-old performs in the UK before he retires after a long career, including, of course, his legendary stint as one half of Simon & Garfunkel.
