Lenny Kravitz has been singing the praises of peace, equality and humanity for decades. The US rock superstar also demonstrated the latter at his Austrian concert in Vienna's Stadthalle and brought great joy to a young fan - and his family - from Lichtenwörth in Lower Austria ...

Lenny will probably be the talk of the town at Lichtenwörth elementary school this week. No, not Lenny Kravitz, but Lenny Steyrer. The nine-year-old from Lower Austria has the former to thank for this, of course - but let's start from the beginning ...

Named after the rock idol
There's no doubt that Lenny's parents are big Kravitz fans - after all, they named their son after the rock superstar. "And whenever he's on tour nearby, we try to go to five or six concerts," dad Christian tells the Krone.

This time, too, they made a pilgrimage to Munich for the concert a few days earlier, but the highlight was to be the one in the Wiener Stadthalle. Not only because it was a home game for the devoted fans, but also because it was son Lenny's very first concert.

This did not go unnoticed by Kravitz, which was probably due to Lenny's T-shirt, which had "Lenny 1st Concert" written on it in large letters. This immediately caught the singer's eye and brought his Austrian namesake on stage. As a bonus, Kravitz even gave the young Lenny a tambourine with a dedication - and a task.

From bandleader to washing up
For the encore "Let Love Rule", Kravitz asked Lenny back on stage and made him the bandleader. He had to set the beat with his tambourine. How did the youngster cope with the brief spotlight? "He already thinks he's a bit of a superstar," smiles dad Christian. "Now we have to ground him a bit - at home it's time to put away the dishwasher and pull weeds." Then Lenny will probably be singing an old Viennese song instead of one by Kravitz, namely "Das Glück is a Vogerl"...
