Montreal mayor Denis Coderre tweeted, Tonight we lost one of our greatest ambassador and icon Leonard Cohen.
Flags will be half mass.
My thoughts and prayers for family of Mr. Cohen.
He was a unique voice and poet of our time, loved around the world.
Thoughts with the family.
His first album,Songs of Leonard Cohen, debuted to acclaim in 1967.
In an interview with theNew Yorkera month before his death, Cohen said, I am ready to die.
I hope its not too uncomfortable.
Thats about it for me.
