Lenny Kravitz on His Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nomination, Lengthy Career: ‘It’s Beautiful'

Lenny Kravitz fully intends to slow down and savor his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination despite a promise he made himself as an up-and-coming artist.

"I promised myself when I was coming up I never took the time to enjoy those kinds of things," the "Fly Away" hitmaker said during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Billboard reports.

"I was always moving forward, not thinking about the past or what was happening. So, I said when this stuff starts happening again, I'm going to take the time, and I'm going to enjoy the moments because it's beautiful."

Kravitz was announced as one of the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees, alongside Mariah Carey, Cher, Mary J. Blige, Sade, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B & Rakim, Foreigner, Jane's Addition, Kool & The Gang, Oasis, Sinead O' Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, A Tribe Called Quest, and Peter Frampton.

The "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" singer rose to prominence in the early '90s, and is still making and releasing music.

"It's a beautiful thing," the singer-slash-actor added.

Kravitz is currently gearing up to release his 12th studio album, Blue Electric Light, which is about "celebration, life, humanity, sexuality, sensuality, spirituality."

According to reports, the singer also gave Fallon and the audience a taste of what will come from his upcoming project by performing "Human," a song about "spiritual beings having a human existence, the journey, man."

In addition to his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination, Kravitz was recently given the Music Icon Award at the 2024 People's Choice Awards in February.

These new accolades beneath his belt have only fueled his passion to make more music and perform.

"I'm just ready to get out there and I'm grateful to still be here," he said in an interview. "After all the years I have behind me - to still be so vibrant and feel so inspired - is truly a gift. And in this very special case, it's beautiful to meet and witness the people coming up now in this generation. It's a special moment in my career."
