Paul Simon is coming out of retirement and announced he is going on tour.

The legendary singer, 83, who retired in 2018, took to social media on Tuesday and announced “Paul Simon in Concert: A Quiet Celebration,” a tour to take place this year.

According to the Independent, the shows will be at intimate venues as a result of his hearing loss as “the acoustics are optional” in these spaces.

“The Sound of Silence” singer will begin his tour in April, with two nights at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Simon announced his retirement in 2018, noting that the American and European Homeward Bound tour would be his last one.

“I feel the travel and time away from my wife and family takes a toll that detracts from the joy of playing. I’d like to leave with a big thank you to the many folks around the world who’ve come out to watch me play over the last 50 years,” he said in a statement at the time. “I am very grateful for a fulfilling career and, of course, most of all to the audiences who heard something in my music that touched their hearts.”
