BEIJING, Sept. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Singer Leonard Cohen is going to return to stage on Monday after collapsing during a concert in Spain on Friday, according to media reports Monday.

    Leonard Cohen fainted when he was halfway through a performance of his hit song "Bird on a Wire" at a show in Valencia. He was then rushed to hospital.

    The singer had suffered a bout of food poisoning but had been reluctant to abandon the show, said his manager.

    Organizers of his tour said that he was expected to be well enough to perform in Barcelona on Monday at the Palau Sant Jordi stadium for the final show in his nine-concert Spanish tour.

    Cohen has been on tour since May, performing in Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. After Spain, he is due to perform in Florida on October 17.
