Lenny Kravitz Hospitalized In Miami

Rock star Lenny Kravitz was admitted to a Miami hospital on Monday suffering from severe bronchitis, a spokeswoman for the singer said.

The 43-year-old musician had been suffering from a series of severe respiratory tract infections in tandem with the flu since mid-January, and the illness has evolved into bronchitis.

"Due to extreme dehydration and fatigue, doctors were unable to control it with outpatient treatment and advised the singer to check into the hospital. He was taken this morning to the emergency room at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami for immediate treatment," the spokeswoman said in a statement.

Details on his condition and expected length of stay were not immediately available.

His illness forced him to postpone a trip to Europe to promote his album "It Is Time For a Love Revolution," which was released last week.

[DuffMcKagan7179]

Aw, dude! Not cool. Do NOT, under any circumstances, die on us, Kravitz.

[irishman]

it's only bronchitis, basically he's coughing up phlegm. he'll be grand it a day or two

[JHall91]

Am I the only one bothered by their repeated use of "Singer" as his title? I mean, yeah, he sings, too, but, you can't deny Kravitz's guitar playing....can you?

[marvelboy_04]

didnt he just play letterman?

[giginthesky]

Could've been herpes. Bronchitis is probably better

[slash_angus_VH]

not only that, but also Piano, Bass, and Drums.He has always played every instrument in his records. He has got to be one of the most talented musicians of our time.

Use a vaporizer, less bad for your lungs when smoking weed

[NorfIrIon]

Seems to be going around lately.
Two of my class mates had bronchitis just last week..

[yoursweatersux]

although he's pretty much a hendrix poseur, hendrix was the man and lenny's a pretty decent hendrix poseur so he's actually not bad

[mrjimborinsane]

i wrote a comment on UG yesterday slating his new album. it would seem that he took it pretty badly...

[DropDeee]

Lenny's the great all-rounder. A talented musician, with a string of hits that most of us enjoy listening to. Get well soon, bro!!
