Art Garfunkel Opens Up on Psoriasis Battle, Joins Awareness Campaign

Art Garfunkel, the iconic singer of Simon & Garfunkel, has opened up about his long-standing battle with psoriasis, a condition that he managed privately throughout his career. At 83, he revealed the emotional and physical toll the disease took on him, describing how it led him to cancel tours and feel isolated despite being in the public eye. Garfunkel shared that he experienced multiple treatments with little success until he found relief with ILUMYA, a biologic medication that has transformed his approach to public appearances. He credited his wife, Kim, and their sons for their unwavering support during his health struggles. Motivated to help others, he has partnered with Sun Pharma for the “I LUV YA for The Long Haul” campaign, aiming to raise awareness about psoriasis and the importance of support in managing the condition. Garfunkel expressed relief at finally being able to embrace his life without the burden of hiding his condition.
