The musical legend that is Leonard Cohen is set to make his live return after a fifteen year hiatus in 2008.
The baritone crooner and lyrical poet will play dates in Canada and the United States in May, before coming to Europe in the summer.
Although there is no word yet on the specific dates, venues or cities, the admin of 73-year-old Cohen’s official forum confirmed that the tour will be happening last week.
The dates will showcase material from his new album touted for release later this year. More details on the tour and the album are expected to be released next month.

- Hi Cynic, hush. The man has consistently made good albums, his most recent one (Dear Heather) is still a damn good album even after writing material for so many albums.
Also, its his first tour in 15 years, there are thousands of people who would love to see him who havent, (like me) so this is a great opportunity for us.
Thank you Mr Cohen, thank you so very much.
- I saw him on his last concert tour in the USA, at the Fox Theater in Detroit. That was back in 1992 or 1993 I think. It was an awesome concert, and I will move heaven and hell to get tickets for this tour.
- Hi sad Cynic, One day you may make 73, but will you have any talent to entertain or will you still be as rude as you are now?
