Leonard Cohen entertained a group of journalists in London on Wednesday night (19 January) by taking questions from Jarvis Cocker.
It was all in aid of launching Cohen's latest album, Old Ideas, which is released on 30 January.
Among Cohen's revelations were that quitting smoking had made his voice go even deeper: "It's what happens when you give up cigarettes, contrary to public opinion… I thought my voice would rise a soprano… it's not going that direction." Later Cohen, who is 77, said: "I'll start smoking again when I'm 80, I'm looking forward to that."
