Per the Associated Press, the Jagger/Simon collaboration tentatively called “Fragile” was found by Rolling Stones collector Matt Lee on a tape he owns but did not disclose where he got the tape. He forwarded a digital copy of the recording to Rolling Stone, who promised to forward it to Simon.
In a November 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, Simon talked about the duet and said, “[Producer] Richard Perry has been looking for that tape for years.
