Paul Simon decided to embrace his deafness in one ear as “part of the process” for his 2023 album ‘Seven Psalms’.
The 82-year-old legendary singer/songwriter – who retired from touring in 2018 – was saddened when he found out he had hearing loss, but he didn’t let his disability hold him back when making the 33-minute piece of work that he says came to him in a dream.
