During a recent performance in Brisbane, Australia, musician Lenny Kravitz encountered an unexpected and alarming situation when a fan forcibly pulled out several of his iconic dreadlocks. The incident occurred on October 13, 2023, as Kravitz took to the stage to perform his classic hit “Let Love Rule” during the Blue Electric Light Tour at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
In a candid clip shared on his Instagram stories, the 61-year-old artist recounted the unusual event. “When I went out for Let Love Rule, a very excited young lady pulled four dreadlocks out of the back of my head,” he explained. He added, “You know how hard you’ve got to pull to rip those out of my head? Damn baby!” His lighthearted yet shocked response highlighted the intensity of the interaction, which left him both amused and taken aback.
Despite the extreme lengths this fan went to in order to obtain a piece of Kravitz’s signature look, the artist expressed his commitment to connecting with his audience. “I’m not going to stop coming out there for Let Love Rule because that’s our moment together,” he affirmed in the video, reinforcing his dedication to fan engagement during performances. “Brisbane, you’re wild. I love you.”
Kravitz’s tour also included a stop in New Zealand, where he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to perform in the region after many years. “Coming to New Zealand for the first time and returning to Australia after so many years is giving my soul the most beautiful energy. You all are amazing. Thank you for sharing this with me. Let’s keep going!”
This incident has generated considerable attention, showcasing both the enthusiasm of fans and the unique challenges performers can face while engaging with their audiences. Kravitz remains undeterred, continuing to embrace the lively atmosphere that characterizes his shows.
