Legendary singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen is to be admitted to the U.S.-based Songwriters Hall of Fame this year. The virtual Hall of Fame honours the best composers and lyricists from around the world.

Cohen, who received a lifetime achievement Grammy Award earlier this year, was cited for songs such as “Suzanne,” “Bird on a Wire” and “Famous Blue Raincoat.” He was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.

The induction ceremony is scheduled for June 17 in New York City.
