Sting and Paul Simon to tour together

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Singer-songwriters Paul Simon and Sting are planning a joint concert tour through North America, starting in February, Live Nation announced.

Tickets are to go on sale beginning Nov. 12. The tour will kick of Feb. 8 in Houston and wrap up in Orlando March 16.

"We are thrilled to be bringing together these iconic artists," Arthur Fogel, president of global touring and chairman of global music for Live Nation, said in a statement Tuesday. "As individual artists, Paul and Sting have had a diverse and unique history, and I suspect the challenge for both of these prolific songwriters will indeed be narrowing down the song choices."
