Sexy singer/songwriter Lenny Kravitz is in a Miami, Florida hospital this morning diagnosed with what doctors say is a “severe” case of bronchitis. Bronchitis occurs when the upper airways becomes inflamed and obstructed by thick mucus that the patient is unable to clear by coughing.
Friends say Kravitz has suffered with respiratory tract infections since mid-January.
“Due to extreme dehydration and fatigue, doctors were unable to control it with outpatient treatment and advised the singer to check into the hospital. He was taken this morning to the emergency room at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami for immediate treatment,” the spokeswoman said in a statement.Details on his condition and expected length of stay were not immediately available.
His illness forced him to postpone a trip to Europe to promote his album “It Is Time For a Love Revolution,” which was released last week.
Kravitz, famed for his hippie-influenced lyrics, rose to fame in the 1990s with such tunes as “Are You Gonna Go My Way” and the Grammy-winning “Fly Away.”
