The legendary singer-songwriter dropped by the talk show on Thursday night (April 2) and dusted off the song – which was first released on his third solo album ‘There Goes Rhymin’ Simon’ in 1973 – for its first live performance since 1993.
Perched on a stool, Simon sang the song backed by an arrangement including acoustic guitar, strings, flute, bass and percussion. He later joined Colbert for a reflection on his early career in England prior to Simon & Garfunkel’s success with ‘The Sound Of Silence’ in 1965.
The dates begin in Prague on Thursday (April 9) and will include shows in Liverpool and Glasgow before a pair of gigs in London’s Royal Albert Hall in May and a final date in Dublin.
