Dear Gossips,
Lenny Kravitz was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday. He has a new album coming out in May – you may remember the video for the lead single “TK421” that was released back in October. And if you don’t remember it, it’s because you haven’t seen it.
And if you haven’t seen it, you should get on that, I promise it will improve your life.
At the ceremony yesterday, Lenny talked about how “surreal” it feels to be commemorated on a boulevard that he used to walk up and down when he was chasing his dreams. He told PEOPLE that it would mean nothing if he couldn’t share it with the people he loves. And some of them were there yesterday to witness the moment, including his daughter Zoë who also delivered a hilarious speech.
Lenny, by his standards, was rather conservatively dressed for occasion, and I’m talking about his clothes here because Zoë talked about his clothes in her speech which was more like a roast, especially at the beginning. SO good!

In addition to Zoë, Denzel Washington also showed up to support his best friend. And we all know, DW doesn’t put on his tracksuit and leave his house for just anyone. On top of that, he spoke. That’s gift upon gift – the presence of Denzel and also the power of that voice? All that respect was coming Lenny’s way.

Also in attendance, Zoë’s fiancé, Channing Tatum. His job was to take photos.
It’s one of the first times we’ve seen Channing with Lenny, at least officially in public, and as a future part of the family. The fact that Chan was even there at all, included on such a big day, is a sign that he’s been fully integrated. Lenny Kravitz is going to be Channing Tatum’s father-in-law.
Can’t get this moment off our minds. 🥹 #LennyKravitz receives his star on the #HollywoodWalkofFame. pic.twitter.com/KevWO6rmJS
