Default Leonard Cohen dies

Quote:
Canadian singer Leonard Cohen has died aged 82, according to a statement on his official Facebook page.

"It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away," the announcement said.

"We have lost one of music's most revered and prolific visionaries."

There were no details about the cause of Cohen's death. A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date, the announcement said.

The Montreal-born singer's hits included Suzanne and I'm Your Man and he released his 14th album, You Want It Darker, just last month.

Leonard Cohen was called "the high priest of pathos" and the "godfather of gloom"

But the influence and appeal of this poet, novelist, songwriter and legendary ladies' man has endured throughout his career.

Often prone to depression throughout his life, is often, witty, charming and self-deprecating manner was reflected in his lyrics.

Record label Sony Music said it was proud to have "celebrated Cohen's artistry" over his six-decade career.

"Leonard Cohen was an unparalleled artist whose stunning body of original work has been embraced by generations of fans and artists alike," it said in a statement.

"The Sony Music Canada family joins the world in mourning Leonard Cohen's passing."
Nah that's it, 2016 needs to end now.

KD Lang singing at a tribute to Leonard Cohen...
It's my favourite rendition of his most famous work... and I actually did just cry while relistening to it.

A God for sure...

Have you heard his latest work? The single from his new album... called "You Want it Darker"... it is so hauntingly beautiful

It was Leonard and the young Bob Dylan's incredible lyrics which really got me into (attempting ) writing poetry.

His, really is, music for LISTENING to.

Thank you for your heart, your soul and your poetry... heaven has certainly gained another angel. I'll have you on repeat forever Leonard. The perfect gentleman.

this is what Daisy said about Leonard Cohen

His son Adam (also a musician) shared this on FB:

Quote:
My sister and I just buried my father in Montreal. With only immediate family and a few lifelong friends present, he was lowered into the ground in an unadorned pine box, next to his mother and father. Exactly as he’d asked. As I write this I’m thinking of my father’s unique blend of self-deprecation and dignity, his approachable elegance, his charisma without audacity, his old-world gentlemanliness and the hand-forged tower of his work. There’s so much I wish I could thank him for, just one last time. I’d thank him for the comfort he always provided, for the wisdom he dispensed, for the marathon conversations, for his dazzling wit and humor. I’d thank him for giving me, and teaching me to love Montreal and Greece. And I’d thank him for music; first for his music which seduced me as a boy, then for his encouragement of my own music, and finally for the privilege of being able to make music with him. Thank you for your kind messages, for the outpouring of sympathy and for your love of my father.
