Lenny Kravitz celebrated with a star on ‘Walk of Fame’ ‘When Putin coughs, Scholz immediately looks for a bunker’

When he was eleven, he moved from New York to Los Angeles with his mother. As a ‘naive teenager’ he learned everything about music, creativity and life on the streets of LA. At the time, he admired the stars of his idols on Hollywood Boulevard, but never dreamed of being immortalized there himself. Kravitz recalled times when he slept in a car, worked as a dishwasher and at a fish market and bought his first guitar at the age of twelve.

As a guest speaker, his daughter, actress and model Zoë Kravitz (35), paid tribute to her ‘cool father’. The daughter joked that it wasn’t just his fishnet shirts he wore all the time that were cool. He also inspires with his zest for life and his great love for music. Hollywood star Denzel Washington (69) was delighted with his long, close friendship with Lenny Kravitz. They are like twin brothers without looking alike, the actor said. Kravitz has “incredible talent” and an “incredible heart.”

In an interview with dpa, Kravitz recently commented on the award on the “Walk of Fame.” «I am grateful for all the flowers given to me. I feel a deep gratitude. But of course that is not why I make art and music. I do this for myself, because I just HAVE to do it. I have no choice. But I am very honored to be immortalized on the same street as the Beatles and some of my heroes.”

The guitarist and singer had his breakthrough in 1989 with his album ‘Let Love Rule’. His best-known songs include ‘American Woman’, ‘Fly Away’, ‘Fields Of Joy’ and ‘It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over’. His twelfth album entitled “Blue Electric Light” is scheduled for release in May. The Grammy Award winner also works as a designer and actor and has appeared in films such as ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ and ‘2022: Shotgun Wedding – A Tough Team’.
