In the months since the death of Leonard Cohen, Cohen’s son Adam has been organizing a huge tribute to his father at Montreal’s Bell Centre. Last night, the show went down, and it featured luminaries from around the world singing Cohen’s songs. Adam Cohen sang “Chelsea Hotel” as a duet with Lana Del Rey. Feist did her version of “Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye.” Courtney Love took on “Everybody Knows.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said a few words with his wife Sophie, and Seth Rogen gave a dramatic reading of Cohen’s poem “Field Commander Cohen.” Appearing via video, a group of singers that included Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Peter Gabriel, and (seriously) Celine Dion sang “Tower Of Song.” Other performers included Elvis Costello, Sting, k.d. lang, and Damien Rice. Below, watch some fan-made videos from the evening.
