All four shows have now been postponed, with Garfunkel revealing that a visit to his doctor during rehearsals led to the diagnosis.
“During rehearsals for my upcoming concerts, I nearly postponed a scheduled appointment with my physician,” the 84-year-old said in a statement. “Thankfully, my wonderful wife, Kim, insisted that I keep it.
“As it turns out, I have been diagnosed with a respiratory infection, and my doctor has advised me to take some time to rest and recover.”
He continued: “My heart is broken that I must postpone these performances. At this season of my life, to be so warmly received by audiences and surrounded by so much love is a gift beyond words.
“Singing for you has always been one of the greatest joys of my life, and the thought of disappointing you saddens me deeply.”
