The legendarily depressed Leonard Cohen will head to the UK and Ireland this summer for a short series of live dates.
The singer, pictured above with his tree, is yet to confirm whether or not he’ll be collaborating with Cadence Weapon, but he will be at an Opera House, Arena or Castle near you in between a number of European festival appearances.
