Hip Hip Hip; happy birthday. Lenny Kravitz celebrates guitarist Guns N Roses with a new album. As he turns 60 today…
Today, October 23rd, marks a major milestone for one of rock’s most iconic guitarists – Slash, the legendary lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, turns 60! To celebrate this momentous occasion, Lenny Kravitz is releasing a brand-new album that pays tribute to Slash’s enduring legacy.
Kravitz, a longtime friend and fellow musician, has always been a huge admirer of Slash’s work. The two have collaborated on numerous projects over the years, and Kravitz has often spoken about the significant influence Slash has had on his own music.
The new album, titled “Slash: A Tribute,” features Kravitz’s unique interpretations of some of Slash’s most iconic songs, including “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “November Rain,” and “Welcome to the Jungle.” The album also includes several original tracks that Kravitz has written specifically for the project, all of which are inspired by Slash’s signature style and sound.
“I wanted to do something special to celebrate Slash’s 60th birthday,” Kravitz explained in a statement. “He’s a true rock legend, and his music has meant the world to me over the years. I hope this album does justice to his incredible legacy.”
Slash, who has been busy touring with Guns N’ Roses in recent years, was visibly moved by Kravitz’s gesture. “Lenny’s a brother, and I’m honored that he would put together such an amazing tribute,” he said. “I’m blown away by the album – he’s really outdone himself.”
The album is set to be released digitally today, with a physical release to follow in the coming weeks. Fans can expect a series of live performances and promotional events to support the album’s release, including a special birthday concert for Slash that will feature Kravitz and several other high-profile guests.
