Legendary singer Leonard Cohen has been forced to reschedule his European concert dates!

Cohen, who won the Lifetime Achievement Special Merit Award at last week's Grammy's, is coping from a "compression injury in his lower back" while exercising and has been ordered to take time off to recoup.

"He has been advised by physicians to follow the typical four-to-six month regime of physical therapy prescribed for athletes with similar injuries," say reps for the singer.

"Doctors have confirmed that Mr. Cohen is otherwise in terrific shape, thanks to years of exercise and a careful diet, and simply needs appropriate time to recover from the lower back injury."

Disappointing!

Here's to a speedy recovery!
