Leonard Cohen to tour Old Ideas

Over the last few years, Leonard Cohen has seized his re-surging popularity by relentlessly performing around the world. His last tour lasted from May 2008 until late-2010 and included almost 250 performances.

Even though, earlier this year, he said he didn't know if he wanted to tour again, the 77-year-old has announced a new trek starting in mid-August, performing in Europe through early October. The press release on the tour stated that new dates will be announced later in the year, including a North American tour in the fall.
