This is very sad news indeed.....Cohen seems to have been around for my entire life.
I can recall exactly where I was when I first heard " Bird on a Wire" and then buying the LP, also a book of his poetry.
Goodness...don't know what else to say.

Only a few months ago, Cohen's muse, Marianne Ihlen, his muse, was dying.
He sent her a last poem/message, which I think was overwhelmingly poignant, sad and prescient :::::
"Well Marianne, it's come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.
And you know that I've always loved you for your beauty and for your wisdom, but I don't need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey"
What a wonderful thing to write.

I am really really sad.
Only last month, he was saying in a magazine that rumours of his retirement were exaggerated - mostly by himself! - and he planned to go on forever.
His poetry and music was a big part of my growing up, and I am so sorry that I will never get the chance to see him play in concert.
