LEGENDARY SINGER-SONGWRITER PAUL Simon and his wife, singer Edie Brickell, were arrested over the weekend for disorderly conduct at their Connecticut home, police have confirmed today.
Police in New Canaan, Connecticut, said they went to Simon’s home on Saturday night to “investigate a family dispute.”
The 72-year-old Simon and the 48-year-old Brickell were arrested and released. Both are expected to appear before a judge later today.
Simon is a 12-time Grammy winner who shot to stardom as half of the duo Simon and Garfunkel, which produced hits like “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “Mrs. Robinson.”
The duo broke up in 1971, and Simon embarked on a solo career. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, both as a member of the duo and as a solo artist.
Brickell, a folk rock singer born in Texas, married Simon in 1992. The couple have three children.

50 ways to beat your lover…
I’m not aware of too many things- you know what I want and you know what I mean. – well maybe he didn’t!
Then again don’t either – I know what I know, if you know what I mean…
That song is someone else not simon.
@ Sean…yes it’s an Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians song called What I am..
Hope he can build a bridge over his troubled waters. Great performer!
Never had him down as a hell raiser – watch out Charlie Sheen
This is news worthy why………. Also none of our business…….
This is from the man who wrote 50 ways to leave your lover !!! He will have to add a new verse and call it 51 ways to leave your lover..
Don’t tell me she lost the diamonds in the soles of her shoes…….
We may all owe Justin Bieber an apology.
Eh, never.
She’s only a bonedigger bonedigger anyway.
Stephen Colbert to Sting : “Last summer you did a tour, it was you and Paul Simon. So for that were you Stingfunkel?”
Bloody hell. We will all have the gards arriving after a few jars (and these pair were probably sober) and annoying each other. Jesus. Sure it’s carnage here if himself doesn’t get his liga on time.
Paul Simon. Winning.
I’m sure when they calmed down they enjoyed the sound silence in their prison cells.
Ah soon it’ll all be water under the bridge…
Sad to see him slip slidin away. He was obviously being a child yet still crazy after all these years. Hopefully he wasn’t the boxer because he’s a rock and she doesn’t want diamonds in the sole of her face. Maybe she’ll build a bridge, he doesn’t want to be homeless.
I have too much time on my hands.
have your say
