Iconic pop duo who have feuded for 50 years shed tears in emotional reunion

LEGENDARY Art Garfunkel shed tears as he reunited in a restaurant with superstar bandmate Paul Simon after years apart.

The feuding pair broke up in 1970 after recording their last album together, Bridge Over Troubled Water.

They rarely spoke afterwards and went their separate ways — last singing together in 2010.

But in an extraordinarily candid interview with The Sun, Art reveals how the school pals broke bread earlier this month.

Art, 82, reveals: “I met with Paul Simon for the first time in years just recently.

“We had a lunch.

“It was very, very warm and wonderful.

“There were tears.

“I was crying at a certain point because I felt I had hurt him.

“But there were hugs. I’m cherishing this two-week-old memory.”

Bridge Over Troubled Water topped the charts in ten countries and was the best-selling album in 1970, ’71, and ’72.

It has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide.
