One of the more cheering stories of recent weeks has been the reported reconciliation between Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel after years of estrangement.
The pair have had their ups and downs over the years but their friendship seemed over after Garfunkel described Simon as a “jerk” and an “idiot” in an interview with Daily Telegraph in 2015. He later said he regretted that outburst but the damage was done: a decade of silence between the two.
