Leonard Cohen Live In London

Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen will release Live In London as both a DVD and double CD set on March 31 through Columbia Records.

The discs document Cohen's July 17, 2008 show at London's O2 Arena that was part of the 74-year-old singer/songwriter's first tour in 15 years. Cohen sold more than 700,000 tickets on the 84-date tour, which he said he was forced to do because his former manager took $5 million from his bank account.

Live In London is Cohen's first release since 2004's Dear Heather. You can hear the live version of "Suzanne" at Amazon.com now.

Cohen, who recently finished touring Australia, donated $200,000 Australian (about $162,000 Canadian) to victims of the Australian brushfires.

You can see Cohen at New York's Beacon Theatre on Feb. 19.
