Leonard Cohen In Recovery
Now that Leonard Cohen’s next concerts have been deferred until September because of his back injury (see Leonard Cohen Concerts Rescheduled To Allow Recovery From Back Injury), fans may be curious about how he will pass the months until the World Tour begins again.
Given that Cohen is, as evidenced by his participation in activities associated with his Grammys Lifetime Achievement Award1 and by his cat-cure reenactment, not totally incapacitated and taking into account his well known work ethic, one would not be surprised to learn that his days remain busy during his recuperation.
Speculation is, however, no longer necessary. Heck Of A Guy has secured a recent version of Leonard Cohen’s To-Do List indicating how he plans to use this new-found free time. (And, as a bonus, the first two items suggest the cause of Cohen’s injury is something other than routine exercise, as alleged.)
