Paul Simon to celebrate "Graceland" anniversary with 2012 tour

Paul Simon wants to take his record "Graceland" on the road to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The ex-Simon&Garfunkel singer and guitarist will tour together with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who featured on the album and toured the songs with him.

The new tour is supposed to happen at the same time that the "Graceland" box set will be released in Spring 2012.

"The documentary took me back to the artistic aspects and the political aspects of making ‘Graceland’ and the controversy that surrounded it and how it was resolved, plus what remains of it and what we learn from it,” said Simon speaking with american magazine Billboard.
