Leonard Cohen Dead at 82
The utterly singular singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen has died at age 82, we've just learned. He was born in Quebec, Canada on Sept. 21, 1934. The artist's Facebook announced his death:
"It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away. We have lost one of music’s most revered and prolific visionaries.
A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date. The family requests privacy during their time of grief."
Billboard learned that Cohen died on Monday in Los Angeles and was laid to rest on Thursday. No cause of death has been revealed. Son (and producer) Adam Cohen said his father “was writing up until his last moments with his unique brand of humor."
