Paul Simon has released a video for new track ‘The Afterlife’, which is taken from his forthcoming album ‘So Beautiful or So What’ – watch the video below. ‘So Beautiful or So What’, which is due for release on 13th June, is Simon’s twelfth solo album to date and his first in five years following 2006’s Top 10 album ‘Surprise’.
The legendary singer will be embarking on a full European tour following the album’s release, including six dates in the UK, beginning with a show at Nottingham Royal Centre on 23rd June – see below for all dates and tickets. In addition to his own headlining concerts, Paul Simon will also be performing on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday 26th June, as well as London’s iTunes Festival on Friday 1st July.
Paul Simon first began working on a solo career after the 1970 release of the classic album ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, his last with Art Garfunkel. His eponymous debut came out in 1972 and included the singles ‘Mother and Child Reunion’ and ‘Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard’. His most highly-regarded solo work to date is arguably his seventh album ‘Graceland’, which was released in 1986. It included the hit single ‘You Can Call Me Al’ and has since gone 5x Multi-Platinum in both the UK and the US.
