Famous Canadian singer and poet Leonard Cohen, one of the international music legends, died on Thursday, November 7, at his home in Los Angeles. He was 82.

“It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away. We have lost one of music’s most revered and prolific visionaries,” reads a message on the artist’s Facebook page.

Leonard Cohen started his career as a poet and novelist but became famous as singer and songwriter. His deep voice and his lyrics, which explored religion, philosophy, and sexuality, have placed him among the folk music legends alongside Bob Dylan, the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize for literature.

Cohen recorded 14 studio albums, the most recent of which, called You Want It Darker, was released less than a month before the artist’s death.

Here are a few of Cohen’s most popular songs:

Hallelujah (1984)

Dance Me to the End of Love (1984)

In My Secret Life (2001)

You Want It Darker (2016)
