It's been fifteen years...

... but now, Leonard Cohen has decided the time is right for a tour. A semi-official announcement appeared on his forum earlier:

The following advance notice is posted with Leonard's permission.

Leonard Cohen will be touring with his band in Canada and US in May and in Europe in the summer.
More details will be announced in February.

North America before Europe? So, um... first he'll play Manhattan, then he'll play Berlin?
