Due to overwhelming demand, Leonard Cohen will once again return to the U.S. this fall for the final leg of his critically acclaimed 2009 World Tour. The highly anticipated 15-date trek kicks off October 17th at BankAtlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Tickets for the newly added concerts will go on sale beginning Monday, August 3, 2009. Additional tour information is available at http://www.LeonardCohen.com.

The second North American leg will extend Cohen's phenomenal series of concerts, which have been overwhelmingly received both at home and abroad. Countless five-star reviews have followed the tour across the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. As the 'London Daily Telegraph' plainly stated, it is "an extraordinary night of music," while the UK's Champion Newspapers remarked that concertgoers "were more reverential to the great man…and appeared to hang on his every word." The 'Liverpool Daily Post' stated that Cohen "seemed to be more a man worshipping than simply singing hits…the care with which he shaped, uttered and offered each word gave the song a sacred, prayer-like quality."

Mr. Cohen's current band features Sharon Robinson and the Webb Sisters (background vocals), Roscoe Beck (musical director & bass), Neil Larsen (keyboards & Hammond B3 accordion), Bob Metzger (electric, acoustic & pedal steel guitar), Javier Mas (bandurria, laud, archilaud, 12-string acoustic guitar), Rafael Gayol (drums, percussion), Dino Soldo (sax, clarinet, dobro, keys).

In conjunction with the tour, Columbia Records released Leonard Cohen's 'Live In London' on March 31, 2009. The 2CD and DVD releases contain a musical chronicle of the legendary musician's historic July 17, 2008 concert at London's O2 arena.
