Elton John on Leonard Cohen

Post by Born With The Gift Of A G »

David Furnish: 'To me, it's just quintessential Leonard Cohen, his vocal style, the deep, deep voice, the amazing lyrics. You and I had the honor of seeing him on his last tour, his final tour, down in the South of France. The man's talent and his originality is just staggering.'

Elton John: 'It was like a religious experience. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.'
