i hope he is o.k. and in good care.

He was part-way through his song "Bird on the Wire" in Valencia when he fainted, causing the band to stop playing and rush to his aid in front of concertgoers. Footage of Cohen kneeling down several times and then keeling over sideways has been placed on YouTube by a fan. He was taken to hospital and later released. The musician will be 75 years old tomorrow.

Not to worry -- merely food poisoning. Interesting account here.

Yes, it was diagnosed as food poisoning and he was released from the hospital yesterday.

It sounds like he will be OK, and let's hope so.

Oh, and this ain't the way to spend your 75th birthday, Leonard!
But if you bounce back today, I guess that's a welcome present,

Have a happy one if you can!   (If not, celebrate your birthday after you get better.)
