Anoche tuvimos la triste noticia de que Leonard Cohen murió a sus 82 años. Aunque todavía no se revelaron las causas que provocaron su fallecimiento, lo que está más que claro es su inmenso legado en la historia de la música, con una vida dedicada a ella.
Varios seguidores se acercaron anoche a la casa de Montreal, donde cantaron sus canciones a la luz de velas (se pueden ver videos acá).
Por su lado, numerosos artistas tomaron las redes sociales para demostrar su sorpresa y tristeza. Los compilamos a continuación:
Leonard Cohen standing before the Lord of Song making good on his promise no doubt. Every songwriter I know in awe of him. His songs endure.

Next year can only be better. Seeing Leonard Cohen walking on St Laurent street when I was 21 was enough to make me feel like I had a home

Leonard Cohen, what a guy
- first album at 33
- dropped "Hallelujah" at 50
- first arena shows in his 70s
He did it til the end. RIP— Ezra Koenig (@arzE) November 11, 2016
