DHARAMSALA, India - US singer Paul Simon will on Monday join a long line of celebrities who have made their way to the Indian northern hill station of Dharamsala for a meeting with exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, an offical said.
The Dalai Lama´s press officer Tenzin Taklha Sunday confirmed the meeting and said Simon was due to stay in the hill station for two days.
Dharamsala has been frequented by high-profile personalities, including Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, the first ladies of France and Peru, supermodel Christy Turlington and actors Pierce Brosnan, Richard Gere, Steven Seagal and Goldie Hawn.
The Tibetan spiritual leader and his followers fled Tibet after a failed uprising against Chinese rule and set up base in Dharamsala in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh in 1959.
