Lenny Kravitz Rocks 2024 VMAs with Epic Three-Song Medley

At the 2024 Video Music Awards (VMAs), rock legend Lenny Kravitz delivered a show-stopping medley that spanned three of his biggest songs, mixing the old with the new. Introduced as a “rock God” by Suki Waterhouse, Kravitz opened his set with his 1993 smash hit “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” Donning a flamboyant white boa and silver-fringe vest, he instantly captivated the audience, setting the tone for an electrifying performance.

Transitioning Into the Present

Following the classic, Kravitz smoothly shifted into his disco-tinged 2024 single “Human,” backed by an ensemble of dancers and his guitar-wielding bandmate. The new track brought a fresh energy to the stage, highlighting Kravitz’s ability to evolve while staying true to his roots in rock and funk.

To close the medley, Kravitz treated fans to a revamped version of his 1998 hit “Fly Away,” featuring rapper Quavo. This modern, trap-infused rendition had the crowd on their feet, with familiar faces like Post Malone and Paris Hilton singing along to the timeless chorus. The updated version maintained the essence of the original while introducing a contemporary twist.

VMA Victory

Kravitz's night was further highlighted by his victory in the Best Rock category for “Human.” It marked his second overall win at the VMAs, his first being in 1993 when he took home Best Male Video for “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” Despite previous nominations in the now-renamed Best Rock Video category, this win was a special moment for Kravitz, who continues to prove his staying power in the ever-evolving music industry.

A Legacy at the VMAs

Kravitz’s history with the VMAs goes beyond his recent performance. In 1998, he was a prominent figure at the awards, presenting Best Rock Video to Aerosmith alongside Gwen Stefani and joining Madonna on stage to play guitar during her “Ray of Light” performance, which won Video of the Year.

With his 2024 performance, Kravitz once again cemented his status as a musical icon, seamlessly blending the past, present, and future in a memorable VMAs moment.
