<p>LOS ANGELES (AP) &#8212; Leonard Cohen, the gravelly-voiced Canadian singer-songwriter of &#8220;Hallelujah,&#8221; &#8221;Suzanne&#8221; and &#8220;Bird on a Wire,&#8221; has died at age 82.</p><p>Cohen&#8217;s management said in a statement Thursday that he has passed away, and a memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date. No further details on his death were given.</p><p>Cohen, also renowned as a poet, novelist and aspiring Zen monk, blended folk music with a darker, sexual edge that won him fans around the world and among fellow musicians like Bob Dylan and R.E.M.</p><p>He remained wildly popular into his 80s, touring as recently as earlier this year and releasing a new album just last month.</p><p>His &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221; became a cult hit when it was covered by musician Jeff Buckley in 1994, and has become a modern standard since.</p><style>
