The American musician and performer
Lenny Kravitz
received the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, a few days before the release of his new album "Blue Electric Light".
Kravitz, who turns 60 next May, said: "As a teenager I spent a lot of time walking up and down Hollywood Boulevard to see the names of all my idols. I never dreamed of becoming a star, I usually tried just a place to sleep. But I dreamed of making the music I wanted and doing my own thing."
“Seeing my name, Lenny Kravitz, permanently etched on the same streets I walked is a surreal and indescribable feeling.”
Among the friends, colleagues and family members who came to celebrate the 59-year-old musician - eleven albums under his belt and 40 million copies sold all over the world - his daughter

Denzel Washington
.
They are the ones who gave the funniest speeches during the ceremony, indulging in jokes and double entendres.
"Being your daughter was one of the greatest adventures of my life – said the actress and director -. You were so young when I was born (Kravitz was 24 when Lisa Bonet gave birth to their daughter), we grew up together We've been through a lot. We've seen a lot. What I've been able to see up close is the way you spend yourself and take care of the people you love. I've seen the dedication you put into your music, but above all I've seen below your shirts. According to my father, if it doesn't leave your nipples exposed, it's not even a shirt," the woman joked, making everyone laugh.
The Malcolm
"I looked in the dictionary - said Washington, who showed up in an acetate tracksuit and sneakers - It says: a person you know and to whom a bond of mutual affection binds you, which usually excludes relationships sexual".
At this point the actor paused, looked at Kravitz, standing next to him with his trademark mirrored glasses, and exclaimed: "Well...", as if to imply that he had crossed that line.
The two burst out laughing, gave each other a comradely hug and the audience laughed.
