After weeks of speculation, beloved Canadian poet/singer Leonard Cohen's tentative concert date on September 24 at Ramat Gan Stadium was confirmed on Wednesday. Bank Discount announced they had taken on the sponsorship of the show and would be offering special discounts for clients. The confirmation comes despite calls among pro-Palestinian groups for Cohen to boycott Israel. The 74-year-old Cohen, who is touring throughout the US and Europe this summer, is performing a three-hour career overview, including well-known standards like "Hallelujah" and "Suzanne."
