Simon hasn't written a new song in a few years. He's recorded five studio albums with Art Garfunkel and made 14 solo albums.
In an interview with NPR, Simon said: "Well I haven't written a new song in a couple of years, now. I think after [the 2016 album] Stranger To Stranger, a funny thing happened when I finished - I literally felt like a switch clicked and I said, 'I'm finished.'"
