Lenny Kravitz performs legendary songs at star-studded Cannes Lions event
Lenny Kravitz rocked the stage at Medialink and iHeart Media’s annual executive dinner at the exclusive Hotel du Cap during Cannes Lions Tuesday night.
The legendary rocker performed a series of hits including “American Woman,” “Fly Away” and “TK421.”
The star-studded event — which is held in Cannes, France — featured celebrity attendees, including Paris Hilton and husband Carter Reum, Jessica Alba, Jay Shetty, Anthony Anderson, Sophia Bush and girlfriend Ashlyn Harris.
Bob Pittman, the CEO of iHeart Media, introduced Kravitz as someone who began his career as a “monster” and only continued to get “bigger and bigger.”
Kravitz took the stage in his signature leather pants and netted shirt which he concealed with a denim jacket.
The 60-year-old crooner played for about an hour in front of media types such as Kara Swisher, Joanna Coles, Andrew Ross Sorkin, as well as NTWRK CEO Aaron Levant, whose Complex brand hosted a dinner Monday night featuring pop star Camila Cabello.
Cabello, 27, took the stage the night before at L’Ecrin Plage and performed her hits “I Luv It,” “He Knows” and “Never Be the Same,” all of which she sang acoustically.
“Live it up in Cannes, everybody!” she yelled to the audience before exiting the stage.
Earlier in the evening, the “Havana” singer revealed that her new blond hairstyle, which she debuted in February, was inspired by artists like Madonna and David Bowie.
“Always keep it fresh for people,” she said of what she learned from her predecessors.
Cabello also said she was not worried about alienating her fanbase with her new look.
“I trust that as long as I’m being me, they know me and love me for me,” she said.
The annual advertising festival runs from Jun. 17 – 21.
