Cohen returns after 20 years

ONE of the greatest living singer/songwriters, Leonard Cohen, will perform in Dublin this summer — his first Irish gig in 20 years.

The Canadian singer, composer, poet and novelist announced details of the tour following his induction into the Rock ’n Roll Hall of Fame at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York on Monday.

The 73-year-old legend will launch the European leg of his tour in Dublin on June 14. The venue, while still to be confirmed, is expected to be the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
