Watch Keith Urban’s Stirring Rendition of “Hallelujah” in Honor of Leonard Cohen

During his concert at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 11, Keith Urban paid tribute to singer/songwriter/poet Leonard Cohen—who passed away on Nov. 7—by performing Cohen’s most famous tune, “Hallelujah.”

Keith posted a one-minute video of the performance on Facebook with the message: “RIP Leonard. And thank you for being a vessel of glory on high. – KU.”
