Legendary music icon, Leonardo Cohen has been confirmed dead— the devastating news was shared on the singer’s Facebook page.
It reads:
“It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away,” the statement read. ”
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.”
Confirming the news, his son told Rolling Stone :
“My father passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles with the knowledge that he had completed what he felt was one of his greatest record titled ‘You Want It Darker’.

Maybe I’ll get a second wind, I don’t know. But I don’t dare attach myself to a spiritual strategy. I don’t dare do that,’ the I’m Your Man singer told the New Yorker.
‘I’ve got some work to do. Take care of business. I am ready to die. I hope it’s not too uncomfortable. That’s about it for me.”
