Canadian singer/songwriter who wrote and sang the ballad Hallelujah dies at 82, only one month after his latest critically acclaimed released album, You Want it Darker.
Leonard Cohen, the hugely influential singer and songwriter whose work spanned five decades, died at the age of 82. Cohen's label, Sony Music Canada, confirmed his death on the singer's Facebook page.
There were no details about the cause of Cohen's death. A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date, the announcement said.
The Montreal-born singer's hits included Suzanne, I'm Your Man and his best-known Hallelujah written in 1984. Cohen released his 14th album, You Want It Darker, just last month to critical acclaim.
