concert poster advertising legendary Canadian singer-songwriter and poet
Leonard Cohen
at the O2 World in Berlin [Germany] on Saturday, 4th October, 2008, presented by Concertbüro Zahlmann. The concert in Berlin was part of the second European leg of Cohen’s first World Tour in fifteen years, commencing at the Arcul de Triumf in Bucharest on 21st September and ending at the MENA Arena in Manchester on 30th November, 2008. Part of the reason Cohen, who was 73 at the time, went on tour in 2008 was to rebuild his finances after being swindled by his manager Kelley Lynch. In late 2004, Cohen’s daughter Lorca began to suspect Lynch of financial impropriety, and when Cohen checked his bank accounts, he found that most of the money in his accounts was gone, including money from his retirement accounts and charitable trust funds. Cohen would discover that this theft had actually begun as early as 1996 when Lynch started selling Cohen’s music publishing rights despite the fact that Cohen had no financial incentive to do so at the time. On 8th October, 2005, Cohen sued Kelley Lynch, alleging that she had misappropriated over US million from Cohen’s retirement fund leaving only 0,000. In March 2006, Cohen won a civil suit and was awarded US million by a Los Angeles County superior court. Lynch, however, ignored the suit and did not respond to a subpoena issued for her financial records. As a result, it has been widely reported that Cohen may never be able to collect the awarded amount. Cohen, who had always professed to interviewers how much he enjoyed the discipline imposed by hard work, recognized the economic necessity of getting back on the road and announced a tour in January 2008. The album
Live in London
was recorded on this tour.
The poster measures 59.3 x 83.9 cm (approx. 23.3 by 33 inches) and is beautifully printed on thin, matte-coated paper stock. In excellent unfolded and unmarked condition, ready to frame.
