Lenny Kravitz recently took to Instagram to share a delightful encounter with the legendary Frankie Valli at the airport. On September 29, the iconic singer-songwriter posted a couple of selfies, capturing a moment of genuine camaraderie between two music greats. “Just ran into the legendary Frankie Valli at the airport. Nothing but respect for you, sir,” Kravitz, 60, expressed in his post. He went on to highlight Valli’s incredible career, noting, “Endless hits and still touring at 90 years young. Love!”
In the snapshots, Kravitz looked stylish in a cozy sweater and leather jacket, complete with sunglasses, as he posed alongside the cheerful Valli, who was dressed in a jacket and glasses. The two musicians clearly enjoyed the moment, showcasing a mutual admiration that transcends generations. This year, Kravitz has been busy promoting his latest album, *Electric Blue Light*, while preparing for a series of performances in Las Vegas and New Jersey, followed by a tour in Latin America.
Earlier this month, during the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, Kravitz was awarded Best Rock for his song “Human.” In a heartfelt moment, he dedicated his win to his late mother, Roxie Roker, who passed away from cancer in 1995. Reflecting on the significance of the award, he shared, “Wow. This is incredible. I am so grateful. Thirty-one years ago, my mother was with me at an award show, at the VMAs, so I dedicate this to her.” His words were filled with gratitude as he acknowledged the blessings in his musical journey.
At nearly 90, Frankie Valli continues to inspire fans with his passion for music and performance. Speaking about his health and outlook on life as he celebrated his 89th birthday in May 2023, Valli shared, “It’s just another year, the way I look at it. So far, knock on wood, my health has been good enough so that I can drive — I have all my marbles and I’m always interested in learning.” His love for music remains as strong as ever, with plans to keep performing as long as he can.
Valli has expressed that retirement isn’t on his agenda anytime soon. “I’ll probably tour until I can’t do it anymore,” he stated. His commitment to his fans is clear, as he cherishes the connections formed through live performances. “When you go to a different city and work in a different venue, it’s like visiting friends,” he reflected, highlighting the joy and fulfillment that comes from sharing his music with audiences across North America. With numerous tour dates planned into 2025, Valli shows no signs of slowing down, proving that his love for music and performing is truly timeless.
