The 'Chelsea Hotel' star has been touring almost non-stop since his 2008 world tour, which lasted two years and was a comeback from his 15 year hiatus.
The 78-year-old musician wowed fans at London's Wembley Stadium last summer, after the release of his latest album, Old Ideas. The album was the highest charting of Cohen's career, and despite having to compete with Lana Del Rey's Born To Die it still reached number one in Canada, Norway, Finland, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Croatia, New Zealand.
