Leonard Cohen, who collapsed from suspected food poisoning, has left hospital to continue his tour in Spain.

The singer, 75, collapsed during a rendition of Bird on the Wire at a concert in Valencia and was rushed to hospital by ambulance.

He spent the night at the Hospital 9 de October but left hospital to continue his tour to Barcelona.

Mr Cohen is scheduled play a concert in Tel Aviv later this week, and his Israeli promoter has confirmed the show will go ahead.
