Lenny Kravitz Crashes Choir Practice

Last week in New Orleans, the Voice of Faith Choir was practicing their music on the street, singing “Fly Away.“ Who would have guessed that Lenny Kravitz himself, having a drink nearby, overheard and walked over to join in? Kravitz sang along then joined in with the drums when the kid drumming quickly gave up his seat.

Lil Wayne Has Hometown Farewell Show Before Heading To Jail

Muti-platinum recording artist, Lil Wayne, returned to his hometown of New Orleans to perform at what he called, his “farewell” tour.

“I’m nothing without you,” he told the screaming crowd of thousands of fans at the New Orleans Arena after opening the concert with “A Milli,” which last year earned him a Grammy for best rap solo.

His real name, Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in October to a weapons possession charge and will be sentenced Feb. 9. His plea deal calls for a year in jail. Dwayne will only be 28 years old after he serves his time, assuming he isn’t released early.

The charge stemmed from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus in New York when authorities said they smelled marijuana, and as they approached, Lil Wayne tossed aside a bag with a loaded .40-caliber handgun.

Lil Wayne’s next album, “Rebirth,” is due for release Feb. 1. After New Orleans, he is scheduled to play a couple of dates in Texas and another show in southern Louisiana.
