Leonard Cohen has announced a North American tour promoting his critically acclaimed album Old Ideas. The master songwriter, musician and poet whose stunning body of original work has touched the lives of millions, first shot to the forefront of the music industry in the 60s and has remained an inspirational talent and contributor to the industry since he first emerged.
The triumphant Canadian poet and singer-songwriter will be touring throughout the fall, with Canadian dates in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, Ottawa, London and Kingston.
Citing W.B Yeats, Irving Layton and Walt Whitman as literary influences, his albums Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967), I'm Your Man (1990) and Dear Heather (2004) are rightly considered classics along with the beautiful singles "Hallelujah" and "Suzanne." He has sold over 20 million albums, worldwide and published 12 books. With a career spanning five decades, Leonard Cohen has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (2008), and the Songwriters Hall Of Fame (2010), and is a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient (2010).
