Leonard Cohen – World Tour!

Some good news for the Leonard Cohen fans!

After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this week in New York City, Leonard Cohen announced he will be embarking on a world tour this summer! It is his first tour in 15 years. In 1993 he toured in support of his album, “The Future.”

I first learned about Leonard Cohen in a first year university English class, and have become more and more fascinated by his work. Although it’s not clear how much of Canada he will be covering at this point, he is slated to play in Toronto and Montreal in June.

This is a video clip of Cohen’s speech from the induction:
