The NY Times is reporting that Paul Simon and Sting have teamed up to tour together in early 2014; apparently, they used to be neighbors back in the hey-days of both of their early careers and this is a return-to-form for them (kinda).
On Tuesday, Sting and Mr. Simon are to announce that they will appear together on a North American tour, during which they will perform several of their best-known songs individually and as a duo. Eighteen dates are scheduled from Feb. 8 through March 16, with additional dates expected to be announced.
The musicians said that they were as surprised as anyone to find themselves on the same bill.
“Paul and I both share this abiding curiosity about music and where it’s going,” Sting said. “We don’t really know where this is going. We don’t really have a clue how this is going to pan out.”
More on this tomorrow when the news is officially released.
