Leonard Cohen died one year ago today.
On Saturday I visited his grave site to place a small metal plaque reading "love" and was glad to see that a tombstone has now been erected for him (separate from the family one which I photographed for an earlier post).
A plaque was also laid at the foot of his grave.
Last night a tribute concert took place here in Montreal at the Bell Centre - the same venue where I saw him in 2012. It has received excellent reviews and was organized by Cohen's son Adam.
It was a star-studded event and will be broadcast on CBC radio 2 at 8 p.m. tonight and a televised version will be broadcast on CBC TV on January 3, 2018 at 8 p.m. (click here for details and more information).

It's still sad to think of him being gone. Looks like plenty of admirers visit his final resting place.
ReplyDeleteI agree messymimi. Every time I have passed by his grave (it is near where I do a lot of photography) I see someone visiting it.
DeleteNice post. I hope you enjoyed the concert. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Flighty. Yes, I did enjoy the concert and I'm looking forward to seeing the televised version in the new year.
DeleteThanks for the heads-up. We were out last night and sans proper tv in general, but we may catch this at point regardless.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Anvilcloud. I hope you do catch it at a later date.
