Seven years after retiring from touring, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Paul Simon is set to hit the road again despite suffering a near-total loss of hearing in his left ear.

The 83-year-old musician, who rose to fame in the 1960s as one-half of the folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel with Art Garfunkel, announced concert dates for his “A Quiet Celebration” tour in a Feb. 18 Instagram post.
