 | Leonard Cohen Set For First Tour In 15 Years
As expected, Leonard Cohen is embarking on his first tour in 15 years this summer, beginning with a June 6-7 stand in Toronto.
The 73-year-old artist, who was inducted last night (March 10) into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, will be backed on the road by Roscoe Beck (bass & vocals, music director) Neil Larsen (keyboard, accordion, brass instruments), Bob Metzger (guitar, steel guitar & vocals), Javier Mas (acoustic guitar, oud & string instruments), Christine Wu (violin, viola, cello & keyboard), Rafael Gayol (drums & percussion) and Dino Soldo (keyboard, saxophone, wind instruments & vocals).
The tour, booked by AEG Live, will hit a range of venues, including England's massive Glastonbury Festival, but as of yet does not include any shows in the United States.
Cohen is working on a new studio album, which is expected before year's end via Columbia.
