Legendary songwriter Leonard Cohen and his band will be touring the U.S. and Canada in May, according to a post made on the singer’s official online forum on Jan. 13.

The upcoming tour may seem like frosting on the cake for fans of the poetic Canadian, who has recently celebrated several significant career milestones. Last year, Legacy Records commemorated the 40th anniversary of the release of Cohen’s first LP by reissuing his first three records in a deluxe digipack. And in March, Cohen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The upcoming tour will be Cohen’s first major outing since 1993. No tour dates have been announced, but the forum post promised more details to come in February.
