Rising above the streets of Montréal, Tower of Songs stands as a tribute to one of the city’s most beloved voices.
Unveiled in 2017 by artists El Mac and Gene Pendon as MU’s landmark 100th mural, it reminds us that Leonard’s connection to Montréal is woven into the city’s landscape, and its soul.
The Leonard Cohen Estate is deeply saddened by the passing of Glen Hansard.
Glen Hansard often spoke about the profound impact Leonard Cohen had on his life. This remarkable story of kindness and generosity is one we’ll never forget.
“We were [watching Leonard Cohen]… and my cousin had an epileptic fit. We were taken out by the St. John’s Ambulance, and a man with a pass came up and handed us two more tickets. He said, ‘Look, if you get out of the hospital in time, we’re playing a later show. You’re more than welcome to come back.’”
“We went to the hospital, my cousin was given a pill and he was fine, and we got back in the queue. Afterwards, Leonard came up to the room. He shook my cousin’s hand, asked him if he was okay, and shook my hand. I guess, in a way, that was really the moment where I knew this was what I wanted to follow.”
“Meeting Leonard and his big, soft, Paddy hand. This artist. This writer. Something was transferred in that moment, and I knew exactly where I wanted to be. I put all my eggs in that single basket, so in a way I was risking everything on it.”
Ah his fingernails, I see they’re broken, His ships they’re all on fire. The moneylender’s lovely little daughter Ah, she’s eaten, she’s eaten with desire. She spies him through the glasses From the pawnshops of her wicked father. She hails him with a microphone That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her.
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That’s how it goes Everybody knows
I went down to the place where I knew she lay waiting Under the marble and the snow I said, “Mother I’m frightened, the thunder and the lightning I’ll never come through this alone” She said, “I’ll be with you, my shawl wrapped around you My hand on your head when you go”
Leonard Cohen’s Family Announces First Official Tribute Tour — A Decade After His Passing
Ten years on, Leonard Cohen’s songs are returning to the stage in “Everybody Knows.” Sung by his son Adam Cohen and, for the first time, his grandson, “Everybody Knows” is the first official, family-produced tribute tour since the 2017 memorial celebration at Montreal’s Bell Centre, where Lana Del Rey, Feist, Damien Rice, Courtney Love and The Lumineers gathered to honor him.
Created and led by Adam Cohen, the production pairs Leonard Cohen’s most enduring songs with curated archival photography and film. The tour begins in Canada in November 2026 before continuing into Europe in early 2027. Adam will be joined onstage by his son — Leonard’s grandson — with additional special guests to be announced closer to the date. Visual design is by Moment Factory, the Montreal-based studio behind stage productions for Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Madonna.

I’m leaving the table
I’m out of the game
I don’t know the people
In your picture frame
If I ever loved you, oh no, no
It’s a crying shame
If I ever loved you
If I knew your name

There’s a lover in the story but the story’s still the same
There’s a lullaby for suffering, and a paradox to blame

Leonard Cohen
Ah his fingernails, I see they’re broken,
His ships they’re all on fire.
The moneylender’s lovely little daughter
Ah, she’s eaten, she’s eaten with desire.
She spies him through the glasses
From the pawnshops of her wicked father.
She hails him with a microphone
That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her.

I went down to the place where I knew she lay waiting
Under the marble and the snow
I said, “Mother I’m frightened, the thunder and the lightning
I’ll never come through this alone”
She said, “I’ll be with you, my shawl wrapped around you
My hand on your head when you go”
