    Lenny Kravitz 'To Be Unveiled As New Velvet Revolver Frontman'

    Lenny Kravitiz is to be unveiled as the new frontman of Velvet Revolver, according to reports.

    Kravitz has apparently been spotted in the studio with the band, who have been without a singer since Scott Weiland left the group in April.

    Weiland, who has since gone on to re-join his original band, Stone Temple Pilots, left the group following a fall out with guitarist Slash.

    Speaking to the Sun newspaper, a source said that Velvet Revolver were writing material that was influenced heavily by Weiland's departure from the band.

    “The band wanted a big name who could easily hold his own and reckon Lenny is just the man for the job,” they added.

    Last week, Velvet Revolver denied that Spacehog frontman Royston Langdon will be unveiled as their new singer, despite his recent performance with the group.

    • it could work actually. lenny k has a crackin voice and has produced some cracking music, but most of it was from the mid 90\'s and before. so he has the ability and now has some decent muscicians behind him - it may work. but velvet revovler are pony, so it can\'t get any worse though ay!

    • It would be cool if Kravitz did join thoses guys with the ALSOME guitar playing Lenny does and with the ALSOME guitar playing Slash and Duff do and with how GREAT a singer Lenny is, It would be nice to see what songs and music playing together they can come up with and have people who are fans of BOTH of their music like myself hear what they can make together would be ALSOME and COOL to see in the Music Videos on MTV&VH1 and hearing it on the FM radio stations and on the next CD would be G
