Transcript

00:00 I feel better than I ever have felt mentally, spiritually, physically, and so I'm glad I'm still here, man.

00:09 And we can thank celibacy for that, Lenny Kravitz revealing he hasn't had sex in almost a decade.

00:15 The rocker opening up to The Guardian about how discovering his own father, Cy Kravitz, cheating was the catalyst.

00:22 (Music)

00:33 What stuck with him the most? When his dad told him he'd end up doing the same thing.

00:38 A fear that came into fruition after his divorce from Lisa Bonet.

00:42 Telling the mag, "After the marriage, I became more like him. I was becoming a player.

00:47 I didn't want to be that guy, so I had to tackle that and it took years."

00:52 It's vitally important to maintain that love and the relationship and to keep the family together.

01:03 And I'm so glad that we were able to do so.

01:08 As for how he tackled it, Lenny says it's all about responsibility and discipline while not letting my own desires take over.

01:15 I learned a lot about myself.

01:17 (Music)

01:22 When asked if he's committed to waiting to meet that special someone, he confirmed, "Yes, it's a spiritual thing."

01:28 It's not about me.

01:29 Well, in the meantime, he's not exactly flying solo.

01:32 The rocker recently celebrated his 60th birthday in Paris, surrounded by all the love.

01:37 It's a celebration. It's fun.

01:39 Including his ex-wife.

01:41 We experienced a very deep love that still carries on to this day, just in a different way.

01:47 It's romantic, right?

01:48 And of course, the couple's daughter, Zoe Kravitz.

01:51 We created such an exceptional human being. I'm so proud to be Zoe's dad.

01:59 And while dad is waiting for marriage himself, he does have a wedding keeping him busy.

02:03 It's happening. It's happening.

02:05 It's happening.

02:06 With Zoe and Channing Tatum announcing their engagement last year.

02:10 Hey man, that's life. When your family is happy, when your child is happy, that's it. I've done well.

02:19 I'm really blessed, man.

02:20 Yeah, it's really exciting. It's going to be good.

02:23 You're going to be father of the bride soon. Have you started thinking about what you might say or what that moment might look like?

02:28 It just comes at the moment. I don't rehearse those things.

02:31 No excuses?

02:32 Oh yes, absolutely. But from the heart.

02:34 From the heart.

02:35 Off the top of the head.

02:36 Absolutely.
