Paul Simon’s cottage on eastern Long Island is in danger of slip sliding away.

Newsday reports the singer-songwriter’s home in Montauk, New York, is being moved back 24.3 meters from the edge of a bluff.

It’s part of an effort to save the home from erosion.

A geologist consulting on the project, Wendi Goldsmith, says work began in February to temporarily move the one-storey cottage a safe distance from the drop-off.

A 15.2-metre buffer of native vegetation will be planted as part of the effort.

Simon’s summer home is about 6 metres from the bluff’s edge, facing the Atlantic Ocean.

He could not be reached for comment.
