Any Updates from Leonard?

Post by meglos2000 »

Hi,

I was wondering whether Jarkko, or anyone else, has heard how things are going for Leonard at the moment, now we are a few weeks away from when the tour cancellations were announced. As we haven't heard much from his inner circle since then.

I hope his back injury is improving well. Has he also been tempted to start on that new album, or some other new work, in his period of recovery?!

Best,
John

We hope to get some news from Leonard!

Thank you, meglos2000, for asking the question, and thank you, tomsakic, for your answer.

I have also been concerned (as I'm sure everyone else has been) about Leonard's recovery. It's really good to know that there will be an update soon. Hope Leonard is having a really good rest & recovery. . .

Thanks SO much Wendy! I, and I know thousands of others, will look forward to more information! The most important thing is that Leonard is improving. If we must miss a concert, it's a minor thing compared to his health.

That is wonderful news :D
Let's hope everything keeps going well for Leonard.

I heard about some of your health problems some time ago already.
and happy as I may be for the wonderful concerts I have seen, I wonder do you really have to do that many of them.
Don't get me wrong, it's good, no, it is absolutely wonderful that you fill all these sold out places, but...

I asked Robert Kory the same question at the Chelsea Hotel Plaque Celebration , just after LC's 75th birthday, and he assured me that Leonard was in excllent health, was careful about his diet and exercised regularly. He predicted a very long career for Leonard, without, of course, predicting occassional future blips!
