TRIBUTES to the late Leonard Cohen have flooded in from many of music’s most prominent figures.
An artist that touched the lives of millions with his eloquent and challenging material, figures from all over the entertainment spectrum and further afield have been forthcoming in their fondness for the Canadian singer/songwriter.
One of those that took to social media in order to bare his feelings on the matter was Nick Cave, proclaiming that “For many of us Leonard Cohen was the greatest songwriter of them all. Utterly unique and impossible to imitate no matter how hard we tried. He will be deeply missed by so many.”

Next year can only be better. Seeing Leonard Cohen walking on St Laurent street when I was 21 was enough to make me feel like I had a home
