‘I was a fool’: Art Garfunkel describes tearful reunion with Paul Simon

Singer describes recent meeting where Simon said he was offended by an old interview, and pair reconciled

Art Garfunkel has described a recent tearful reunion with Paul Simon, in which the pair moved past old enmities.

Speaking to the Times, Garfunkel said: “I actually had lunch with Paul a couple of weeks back. First time we’d been together in many years. I looked at Paul and said, ‘What happened? Why haven’t we seen each other?’ Paul mentioned an old interview where I said some stuff. I cried when he told me how much I had hurt him. Looking back, I guess I wanted to shake up the nice guy image of Simon & Garfunkel. Y’know what? I was a fool!
