Leonard Cohen in Beacon Theater New York City



Leonard Cohen will perform tomorrow night in Beacon Theater in New York City. He is performing in US for the first time after 15 years. He is now 74 years old who published many poem books like "Let us compare mythologies" in 1956 when Bob Dylan was only 15 years old. He published many other books like "Beautiful losers" and the enigmatic love song like "Suzanne". For many years he abandoned live performances and lived in Zen monastery like Buddhist Monk outside LA.
In 2006 after finding out his longtime manager drained almost his entire saving he returned to stage with dark, melancholic songs like Halleluja.

He was/is always one of my favorite singer of all time, I always loved "Dance to the end of love", "Here it is", Suzanne, "I am your man", "Halleluja" and many others..... I don't have ticket for tomorrow night (I might try to go see if I can get it at the box office) but I hope you do have tickets and you can enjoy his warm, deep and unspeakable voice tomorrow night.... I deeply wish it is not going to be his last one here in New York City
