There’s a glimmer of hope for Paul Simon fans.
Last year the musician broke hearts across the world when he said that it had become “extremely” unlikely that he would ever perform live again after he lost almost all of the hearing in his left ear.
But last night, the “Graceland” superstar said that his hearing has unexpectedly improved somewhat and that he’s now “optimistic” that he might be able to perform his latest album live.
In June, he told “CBS Sunday Morning” that a 2022 performance at the Newport Folk Festival might have been his last.
“I hope not,” the Simon and Garfunkel co-founder said, “I really wanted to perform [new album] the ‘Seven Psalms.’ I haven’t given up hope, but I’m prepared to accept that I might not be able to.”

He added, “I’m optimistic that I can.”
The screening at the Directors Guild Theater was attended by Whoopi Goldberg, Debra Messing, Marlo Thomas, Camryn Manheim, Rupert Friend, Aidan Quinn, Eric Stoltz, Bart Freundlich, Julie Taymor and Peter Thomas Roth and there was a glitzy party at the Pool afterward.
The documentary is set to screen in two parts on MGM+, beginning this Sunday.
