Simon and Garfunkel reveal 'warm and wonderful' reunion

They have one of the longest running feuds in music history, but Simon and Garfunkel have revealed they had an emotional reunion last month.

The Bridge Over Troubled Water singers have not sung together since 2010, but Art Garfunkel, 82, said the pair met up for lunch to bury the hatchet.

He told The Sun: 'I met with Paul Simon for the first time in years just recently. We had a lunch together. It was very, very warm and wonderful.'

'There were tears. I was crying at a certain point because I felt that I had hurt him.'

'But there were hugs. I'm cherishing this two-week-old memory of having lunch with Paul Simon.'

The musical duo first split in 1970, but reformed in 1981 for a huge reunion gig in Central Park, New York.

But despite the various tours, their partnership has been a turbulent one with reports of long-running feuds over musical disagreements.

Mr Garfunkel, who this month will release a new album with son Art Garfunkel Junior, also revealed why they didn't have a band name.

He said: 'We never could come up with what we should call ourselves. Then the record label said, 'Look, it's the Sixties now', meaning it's the future. It's arrived. 'You can use your legitimate names'. They told us, 'If it sounds like a law firm, so be it. You're Simon & Garfunkel now.'

Bridge Over Troubled Water sold more than 25 million copies worldwide and topped the charts in ten countries and was the best-selling album in 1970, '71, and '72.

Last month, the Sound of Silence singer said: 'I miss Paul. Any difficulties are not worth clinging to, life is short, and the positive side of Simon & Garfunkel is there waiting to be related to. I would love to sing with him.'
