Lenny Kravitz Cancels Tour
Rocker pulls plug on fall U.S. jaunt

Lenny Kravitz's nineteen-date tour with Robert Randolph and the Family Band has been canceled, ten days after it was announced and a month before it was set to kick off with a September 11th show in Atlantic City.
"I was really looking forward to getting out there to meet and play for my fans," Kravitz said in a statement, not specifying the reason for the cancellation. "Unfortunately, things come up in life that you cannot control. I hope my fans will understand, and I will definitely make it up to them with these shows next year."
Fresh off a sold-out string of dates at European stadiums behind his new album Baptism, Kravitz was looking forward to mounting a large-scale U.S. tour. "I'm enjoying performing more than ever," he told Rolling Stone earlier this month. "It's been a long time since I went across America."
No rescheduled dates have been announced at this time for Kravitz. Randolph will make up the scrapped shows by playing a mixture of club gigs and festival dates, according to his publicist.
