Paul Simon

Before the live recording of "The Boy in the Bubble" on October 24, 2016, Paul Simon was riding high on the success of his album "Stranger to Stranger," released earlier that year. This album saw Simon experimenting with different sounds, blending folk with contemporary elements, which showcased his continued evolution as an artist. Interestingly, "The Boy in the Bubble" originates from his seminal "Graceland" album, released in 1986, a project that defined cross-cultural collaboration in music. At this Stockholm performance, fans likely felt a sense of nostalgia as he revisited such a classic, reminding everyone of the power of connection through music. Plus, it was notable that Simon announced this tour as part of his farewell tour, signaling a poignant moment for fans and marking a significant chapter in his storied career.
