Dear Heather, I’m Broke
It’s rare that we anticipate an issue of Maclean’s with baited breath. Heck, it’s rare that we anticipate an issue of Maclean’s at all. But the magazine will offer up a nutty examination of the impending bankruptcy of dear Leonard Cohen, and TOist is all at once baffled and dismayed. From the release:
Canadian Musician Leonard Cohen is broke and the lawsuits are flying. Mired in a legal battle with his money managers, short of funds and facing a massive tax bill, Leonard Cohen is “devastated.” This week, Maclean’s tells the sordid tale of extortion, SWAT teams, Tantric sex, forcible confinement and betrayal that has embroiled a Canadian music icon. National business correspondent Katherine Macklem investigates the flying allegations and reveals how this Canadian star was left broke, and why he must now, at age 70, try to re-ignite his smoldering career. And having known Cohen for years, senior writer Brian D. Johnson gives readers the inside scoop on how Cohen lives his life out of the spotlight, revealing the truth about what accusers call “an extravagant celebrity lifestyle.”
