Cohen was a close friend of Justin’s PM father, Pierre, and had served as honorary pallbearer at his funeral in 2000. The only departures from the musical contributors were appearances by Canadian actor Seth Rogen, who had never met Cohen, but is an avowed fan and fellow “Canadian Jewish person ” and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau. Backup singers The Webb Sisters, Charley and Hattie - who toured with Cohen on his first tour in 15 years, back in 2008 until the end of 2010, then again in 2014 - also added their voices throughout the night. Philip Glass, previously announced, didn’t appear, and some performers - like Sharon Robinson, Basia Bulat and Shaar Hashomayim Choir - were either surprises or late additions.
