Legendary Singer and Songwriter Leonard Cohen Dies at 92
--------------------------------------------------------

And Leonard Cohen has died at the age of 82 at his home in Los Angeles.
The wildly influential singer and songwriter was a force in the music
world for more than 50 years. Famous for the songs "Hallelujah,"
"Suzanne," "Dance Me to the End of Love", "Famous Blue Raincoat" and
"Tower of Song," Cohen was born September 21, 1934, and lived throughout
his life in New York City, London, on the Greek island of Hydra and in a
monastery east of Los Angeles.

Leonard Cohen: "Now I've heard there was a secret chord, that David
played, and it pleased the Lord. But you don't really care for music, do
you? It goes like this: The fourth, the fifth. The minor fall, the major
lift. The baffled king composing Hallelujah. Hallelujah…Hallelujah…"

The Canadian-born singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen released his final
album, "You Want It Darker," less than a month ago.
