Paul Simon Won’t Record with Art Garfunkel

Paul Simon doesn't think he'll ever record with Art Garfunkel again.

The iconic duo have not completed an album since Bridge Over Troubled Water - which was released shortly before they split in 1970 - and Paul says there's not much chance they will work together again because he doesn't like to revisit the past.

"There are a couple of issues. One, Art has some problem with his vocal chords and he can't sing in his mid range. So it's really a moot point unless he can sing. From my own perspective, I would just as soon not go back and visit the past. I feel the same way about Graceland. I'm happy to celebrate this 25th anniversary and we're going to play a few concerts but I'd just as soon be quietly making new music."

However, Art has previously said he would like to work with Paul again but admitted there were problems between them: "You'll have to ask him, it takes two to tango. I like to tango, so count me in. You'll just have to bring a psychiatrist in as the third member."

Eric Clapton Sidelined with Gallstones

Musician Jeff Beck will be stepping in for Eric Clapton later this week during festivities for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The 64-year-old guitarist was forced to cancel his Madison Square Garden performance after undergoing surgery for gallstones.

Beck is just one of several musicians lined up for the two-day benefit event in New York. Stevie Wonder, Sting, Paul Simon and Crosby, Stills & Nash are amongst those scheduled for Thursday while Aretha Franklin, Lenny Kravitz, U2 and Metallica are on the slate for Friday.

Bruce Springsteen - who canceled an appearance in Kansas City yesterday after a death in his family - is also supposed to appear on Thursday.

Clapton is reportedly doing well and is recovering from his operation in England.
