Leonard Cohen collapses on stage
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 21 September 2009
Leonard Cohen is busy recovering after collapsing on stage on Friday night at a concert in Valencia. He collapsed as he was performing ‘Bird On A Wire’, seemingly suffering from bad stomach cramps. It’s since been reported he had food poisoning. He was taken to hospital as a precaution, but I think is doing fine now. As far as we know he will perform his concert in Barcelona tonight as planned. Fan filmed videos of the collapse have been circulating on the net, but you don’t want to watch an old man collapse in agony while singing a song, do you?
