20 years ago, Lenny Kravitz wrote, recorded and produced his iconic debut album, Let Love Rule, striking a chord around the world and propelling him to international stardom. The title song's signature line, "It's time to take a stand, Brothers and Sisters join hands" is a theme Kravitz feels is still relevant to this day, and he is harnessing this message of hope, taking it on tour with him throughout Europe.

This spring and summer, Kravitz will tour to 55 European cities on his "LLR 20 (09) Tour," starting on April 17 in Caen, France and ending July 19 in Stuttgart, Germany. Along the way, the tour will visit the UK, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland and several other European countries.

Lenny Kravitz is widely regarded as one of rock's most respected singer-songwriters. He's also a multi-talented instrumentalist, producer and arranger, which has resonated throughout eight studio albums, culminating into a timeless catalog.

He has won four consecutive Grammy Awards, setting a new record for the most wins in the "Best Male Rock Vocal Performance" category. Kravitz's appeal has also been recognized by his peers; his collaborative efforts are as varied as his own influences. Madonna, Slash, Aerosmith, Jay-Z, N.E.R.D., Mick Jagger, P. Diddy and Alicia Keys are just some of the legends who have sought to work with him.
