Leonard Cohen has rescheduled two dates on his forthcoming UK arena tour for religious reasons.

Cohen, who will play live in the UK this August and September, has rearranged dates in Leeds and London after realising that they were scheduled on days of solemn religious observance, including the Jewish day of atonement, Yom Kippur.

A date at London’s 02 Arena on September 14 will now take place a day later.

All tickets remain valid for the rescheduled dates.
