Stars pay tribute to Leonard Cohen

Bette Midler, Justin Timberlake and Russell Crowe are among the stars to have paid tribute to Leonard Cohen.
The ‘Hallelujah’ hitmaker has passed away at the age of 82 and the hugely influential singer-and-poet has sparked a flood of videos, lyric quotations and heartfelt messages on social media.
Bette posted: "Leonard Cohen has died. Another magical voice stilled."
Justin described the singer as "a spirit and soul beyond compare", while Carole King simply wrote ‘R.I.P’ Leonard Cohen and Canadian singer Alanis Morissette typed his name alongside a crying emoji.
Russell Crowe thanked the ‘Suzanne’ singer for his work.
He posted: "Dear Leonard Cohen, thanks for the quiet nights, the reflection, the perspective, the wry smiles and the truth #towerofsong (sic)"

He wrote: "Kids. Take a moment to listen to Leonard Cohen’s song Going Home when you can. RIP L Cohen and thank you. (sic)"
Comic Sarah Silverman feels the singer’s passing will point people in the direction of songs that seem fitting for the moment, likely referring to Donald Trump’s recent presidential election victory.
She tweeted: "RIP Leonard Cohen. Ugh. It feels pointed, this death. It’s making us remember songs like Come Healing which is a good one for these days."
Canadian stars Kiefer Sutherland and Ron Howard also paid tribute to their fellow countryman.
Kiefer posted: "A brilliant Canadian artist passed today. Leonard Cohen, rest in peace. Hallelujah."
