Leonard Cohen postpones European Concert Tour - Bad Back

altCanadian artist Leonard Cohen has postponed his European tour due to back injury. Cohen's representatives issued a statement Friday on his website, that said the 75-year-old performer needs to undergo physiotherapy.

He was due to start a series of European performances in March,  but the statement said that has been put off until September, 2010. The website statement said Cohen suffered a compression injury in his back while exercising and doctors have told Cohen that he should follow the typical four to six month regime of physical therapy prescribed for athletes with similar injuries.

"Doctors have confirmed that Mr. Cohen is otherwise in terrific shape, thanks to years of exercise and careful diet, and simply needs appropriate time to recover from the lower back injury," Cohen's manager, Robert Kory is quoted in the statement.

Cohen appeared at the Grammys last weekend in Los Angeles where he was given a lifetime achievement award.
