Leonard Cohen to release live album

Leonard Cohen will release his first album since 2004 with a live concert taken from his 2008 European tour.

The legendary singer-songwriter played a number of headline shows last year and the album was recorded at his O2 arena concert on July 17, 2008 in London.

Entitled Live In London, the LP features songs from across Cohen's career.

The tracklisting features songs from 'Suzanne', which featured on his 1967 debut Songs Of Leonard Cohen, to 'In My Secret Life', which opened his 2001 album Ten New Songs.

Live In London will be available on double-CD or DVD from March 31, 2009.

Cohen reportedly received £1 million in royalties last year for the use of his 1984 hit 'Hallelujah' in the final of The X Factor.
