Happy 75th, Leonard Cohen!

Thank goodness - Leonard Cohen is OK after his brief collapse during his concert in Valencia, Spain last Friday. Luckily, the cause of his fainting was not too serious: suspected food poisoning, from which he has now recovered.

Apparently, he actually wanted to go on with the show and return to the stage on Friday after he fainted, but they wouldn't let him. After resting over the weekend, he was well and scheduled to go on with his planned concert in Barcelona tonight, September 21st, taking the stage in a sold out venue on his 75th birthday.

What a legend :)
