( CNN ) -- Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are getting their group back together this spring for a reunion tour of Asia and Australia , according to a source close to the group . Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon , here performing at a 2007 gala , are planning to tour this summer . Reunion plans apparently began after Simon and Garfunkel played three songs together during Simon 's two-night gig at New York 's Beacon Theatre in February . Tour rehearsals begin in New York in May and the tour will launch in New Zealand around the first week of June , according to the source . Shows in Australia and possibly Japan will follow , the source said . Simon 's manager , Jeff Kramer , has asked the group 's musicians to clear their calendars -- which means canceling other shows -- from late May through June , the source said . Kramer , in a statement to Rolling Stone magazine after the February show , hinted that a tour was in the works . No official announcement has been made and Simon 's publicist has not responded to CNN requests for comment . `` Yes there have been conversations taking place , but nothing has been confirmed , '' Kramer told Rolling Stone . Simon and Garfunkel last reunited for their `` Old Friends '' tour in 2003 and 2004 , which Rolling Stone estimated earned $ 123 million . The duo , friends since childhood , is famous for breaking up and making up about every dozen years . Their biggest hits together came in the late 1960s -- including `` Bridge Over Troubled Water , '' `` Mrs. Robinson '' and `` Scarborough Fair . ''
