Fan Pulls Out Four of Lenny Kravitz’s Locs Mid-Performance
Lenny Kravitz experienced an unforgettable and painful moment during his recent concert in Brisbane, Australia. While performing on November 21 as part of his Blue Electric Light tour, the 61-year-old rock icon had four of his dreadlocks ripped from his head by an overly enthusiastic fan.
The shocking incident occurred during his performance of “Let Love Rule,” a song known for its intimate and interactive vibe. In a video shared on his Instagram Stories after the show, Kravitz recounted the bizarre encounter with a mix of humor and disbelief.
“Brisbane, that was wild. That was wild,” he began. “So when I went out for ‘Let Love Rule,’ a very excited young lady pulled four dreadlocks out of the back of my head. You know how hard you got to pull to rip those out of my head? Damn, baby.”
