LEONARD COHEN
Artist, poet, novelist, singer-songwriter, icon there has never been a figure like Leonard Cohen. He was a truly international sensation, entertaining and inspiring the world with his art. From his groundbreaking and bestselling novels, Beautiful Losers and The Favourite Game, to timeless songs such as Suzanne and Hallelujah, Cohen is one of the world's most cherished artists. His death in 2016 was felt around the world by the legion fans and fellow artists who would miss his warmth, humor, intellect, and piercing insights.
