The Lyrics of Leonard Cohen
with Christine Williams
Singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen (b. Sep 21, 1934, Westmount, Canada – d. Nov 10, 2016, Los Angeles).
Singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen (b. Sep 21, 1934, Westmount, Canada – d. Nov 10, 2016, Los Angeles).
He entranced audiences around the globe, with thousands attending his performances in Australia in the years leading up to his death in late 2016.
In 2009, while performing in eastern Spain, he collapsed on stage with food poisoning while singing his legendary Bird on a Wire. Still he would continue to perform – a consummate performer and a real trouper. Three days later, on his 75th birthday, he performed in Barcelona, declaring: ‘May your lives be sweet as apples dipped in honey’.
