Grammy Award-winning singer Paul Simon, appeared in a court yesterday with his wife, singer Edie Brickell, after a pushing match at their Connecticut home ended in charges for the pair.
Both singers faced a judge in Norwalk Superior Court after their weekend arrest by New Canaan police on disorderly conduct charges stemming from the family dispute.
The altercation occurred at a cottage on their New Canaan property, the couple's attorney said. The couple got into a dispute and when Simon attempted to leave, Brickell blocked the door, he said. The incident escalated and Brickell's mother, who was visiting, called police.
Simon was given a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003 for his work as part of the duo Simon and Garfunkel.
Brickell is best known for her 1988 hit song "What I Am," which was released by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians.
The two are slated to return to court next month.
