*Lenny Kravitz, a musician, actor, and fashion icon, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.
Kravitz rose to fame in the 90s, winning four Grammy awards and releasing 11 albums. He has also been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
During Tuesday’s ceremony, Kravitz reminisced about his teenage years spent strolling along Hollywood Boulevard, idolizing his favorite stars.
“I used to walk these very streets because the action and the grit that I was missing in New York was right here in Hollywood.”
“As a teenager, I spent a lot of time walking up and down Hollywood Boulevard seeing the names of all my idols,” he continued. “I never dreamt about having a star. I was usually just looking for a place to crash. But I did dream about making the music I wanted and doing my own thing. To see my name, Lenny Kravitz, permanently engraved on the same streets I used to walk is a surreal, indescribable feeling.”
Lenny’s daughter, Zoe Kravitz, joined him on stage and playfully teased him about his fashion sense.
“Since you were so young when I was born, in many ways, we’ve grown up together,” she continued. “We’ve been through a lot. We’ve seen a lot. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve seen you change in the most beautiful ways, I’ve seen the way you’ve stayed the same in the most important ways.”
“I’ve seen the way you show up, take care of the people you love — I’ve seen your incredible dedication to your art, but mostly, I’ve seen through your shirts,” she said.
“According to my dad, if it doesn’t expose your nipples, it’s not a shirt,” she joked. “And sure, you used to embarrass me when you’d pick me up from school as a kid, but I gotta say, at this point, I respect it. You really do pull it off. Your relationship with the knitted shirt is probably your longest one, and it works.”
“You two make each other better — and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s a beautiful thing,” she added.
Denzel Washington also joined them on stage and praised Kravitz for his incredible talent and heart.
“He’s more than a friend, he’s more than a brother,” Washington said. “We’re twins, we just don’t look alike. We’ve had a close brothership, friendship … for 30 years.”
“God has blessed him with an unbelievable talent, but even more so, an unbelievable heart,” he added, calling Lenny Kravitz “a giver” and “a lover.”
Although Kravitz has had many hits throughout his career, he is best known for songs like “It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over,” “Always on the Run”‘ “Are You Gonna Go My Way,” and “Fly Away.”
In addition to his music career, Kravitz also appeared in the “Hunger Games” films.
Kravitz graciously took photos and signed autographs for his fans at the ceremony, thanking them and emphasizing that the star on the Walk of Fame belonged to all of them.
“This isn’t my star,” he told the crowd. “This is our star. Thank you all for this and let love rule.”
