It was announced last night that Leonard Cohen passed away a few days ago, on November 7. It’s been much publicized over the last few weeks that Cohen’s health was failing. He was quoted in a New Yorker article, published a few weeks ago around the release of his latest album, You Want it Darker, that he was ‘ready to die … that’s about it for me’, and the album is full of references to his impending demise.
His music and writing have had a significant impact and influence on me, particularly in my in my teens and twenties. He’ll be missed.
