Although Leonard Cohen’s “Old Ideas” World Tour spanned an impressive five years in total, it’s his final show in Auckland, New Zealand, that stands out for most fans. The Dec. 21, 2013, event was the artist and poet’s last live show before he passed away, which he ended by doffing his hat, taking a deep bow.
“I want to thank you,” he told the crowd.. “Not just for tonight but for all the years you’ve paid attention to my songs.”
