To Zoë, my admirers, and the lovely community that has supported me over the years,
My heart is bursting with appreciation as I sit here and think back on the trip that has been my life and work. I’ve been carried through decades by music, love, and religion, but it’s the people—you—who have made that journey meaningful. This letter is my way of expressing my sincere gratitude for the constant love, support, and faith that have surrounded me from the start.
You have been my greatest creation, my purest inspiration, and the embodiment of all my positive traits, my dear daughter Zoë. I am so proud to have seen you develop into the strong, independent lady and artist you are today. I’ve learned from you that family is about presence more than perfection and that love changes over time. Our relationship, which has been forged by time, hardship, and grace, serves as a constant reminder to me that legacy is more than simply the things we create; it’s also the people we raise. I’m grateful that you are my greatest song, my light, and my mirror.
You have become my lifeblood, my admirers. Your enthusiasm has been my constant companion from the tiny clubs of the late 1980s to the enormous arenas of today. Through every line, every riff, and every quiet moment in between songs, you have sung, danced, and wept alongside me. Because of you, I’ve been able to stay loyal to my craft and never follow fads in favor of truth. Through your acceptance of the funk, soul, rock, and spirituality that permeate my music, you granted me freedom. Every performance, album, and note has been a conversation with you that has shaped who I am.
I also want to express my gratitude to the Lenny Kravitz community, which includes the individuals who work behind the lights, fans worldwide, musicians, dreamers, and believers, for fostering an atmosphere that helped me develop. You’ve created room for connection, love, calm, and sincerity. You’ve demonstrated that music is a haven for the soul and more than just sound.
I approach this trip with a fresh sense of purpose and deep gratitude. I pledge to continue giving back to those who have given me everything I have, including my heart, my truth, and my work.
With rhythm, love, and unending tranquility,
Kravitz, Lenny
