Leonard Cohen to Tour in 2008
Posted by Scotter
And I was just watching Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man (see our review here) on the Sundance Channel last night thinking “I wonder if he’s ever going to tour again?”.
Pitchfork reports that Mojo reports that the Leonard Cohen Forum reports that the legendary Canadian singer/songwriter/poet will be touring Canada and the US in May, on the heels of a new studio album.
Two countries, one month, and a 73-year-old legend = a handful of shows, high ticket prices, and lots of driving from second-tier concert cities like my Detroit to New York or Toronto (hell, Cohen may even pass on Chicago if tour dates are scarce).
We’ll have to wait and see, but I predict that you’ll want to get your tickets as soon as they’re available. This will probably be the last tour, since I don’t really know of any octogenarians outside of Pete Seegar who have done much touring.
