Lenny Kravitz visited a Buc-ee's for the first time while on the road, and even while hitting up a convenience store, he managed to be hot as hell.

In the video he shared on social media, Kravitz is wearing all leather and rocking a very fetching crossbody bag. As expected, if Lenny Kravitz walks into any place --- let alone a massive, iconic rest stop convenience store like Buc-ee's --- he's going to attract attention. Clearly, Kravitz is used to such attention, because the video shows him interacting with and posing for photos for fans.

As for what Kravitz picked up on his first-ever trip to Buc-ee's, People notes, "While he didn’t give a haul of his purchases, it looks like he grabbed a bag of Buc-ee’s beloved Beaver Nuggets (a sweet puffed corn snack), a freshly-made barbecue sandwich, Celsius energy drinks and more."

Kravitz captioned the video, "First time at @bucees... So many smiling faces and warm hearts. We are all #Human. See you on the road!"

Fans were quick and quick-witted with the comments. One fan wrote, "I would have perished right in front of the wall of jerky." Another wrote, "I think my soul would leave my body if I was grabbing a bottle of water and looked over and saw Lenny Kravitz!" (Girl, SAME!)

When He's Not at Buc-ee's, Lenny Kravitz is Collecting Awards

Kravitz has received plenty of awards and other honors lately. In February, he received the Music Icon Award at the 2024 People's Choice Awards.

Weeks ago, Kravitz was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The moment brought out a ton of big names, including Denzel Washington and Zoë Kravitz, Lenny's actress daughter.

On top of all of that, Kravitz is currently nominated for the 2024 induction class of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This is Kravitz's first nomination since being eligible since 2015.

As of publishing, Kravitz is currently in sixth place in the Rock Hall Fan Vote. Fans can cast their vote once a day at Vote.RockHall.com for who they think should be part of the 2024 Rock Hall induction class. This year, voting will last through April 26. Unlike previous years, fans will get to vote for up to seven nominees every day. Previously, the choices were capped at five nominees.

The Fan Vote was first launched in 2013. Per the Rock Hall, "There have been over four million fan votes cast over the past 10 years, with 64% of the Fan Vote ballot (35 of 55) earning induction in the same year; and 86% (38 of 44 unique nominations) eventually earning induction. In 2022, the entire Top 5 earned induction – the only time that has happened."

Once voting closes, the top five vote artists in the Fan Vote will create what is called a "Fans' Ballot." It will be counted among the other ballots that various artists, historians, and music industry professionals fill out and submit.

Fans can cast their vote once a day at Vote.RockHall.com for who they think should be part of the 2024 Rock Hall induction class. This year, voting was initially announced to last through April 26. However, it abruptly ended on April 15. Even the Instagram post below from the Rock Hall states voting ends on April 26.

However, Future Rock Legends noted on X (formerly Twitter) on March 26, "The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame quietly pushed up the Fan Vote closing date to April 15th. It had previously been set to close on April 26th."

Unlike in previous years, fans got to vote for up to seven nominees every day. Previously, the choices were capped at five nominees.

The Fan Vote was first launched in 2013. Per the Rock Hall, "There have been over four million fan votes cast over the past 10 years, with 64% of the Fan Vote ballot (35 of 55) earning induction in the same year; and 86% (38 of 44 unique nominations) eventually earning induction.

More on the 2024 Rock Hall Nominees and Induction Ceremony

The Rock Hall noted that ten of the 15 nominees are on the ballot for the first time. Those artists are Mariah Carey, Cher, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinéad O’Connor, Ozzy Osbourne and Sade.

The 2024 inductees will be announced in late April. This year's induction ceremony will take place in Cleveland. The exact date of the ceremony is currently unknown, but it will take place in the fall. As with last year, the 2024 ceremony will live stream on Disney+. An edited special will air on ABC at a later date, which will be available on Hulu the next day.

In a statement on the 2024 nominees, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation Chairman John Sykes said, "This remarkable list of Nominees reflects the diverse artists and music that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors and celebrates. Continuing in the true spirit of Rock & Roll, these artists have created their own sounds that have impacted generations and influenced countless others that have followed in their footsteps."

7. Kool & the Gang: 286,912 votes.

Kool & the Gang have been eligible for induction since 1995. However, they only received their first Rock Hall nomination in 2024. It's pretty shocking, considering just how many hits are in their catalog. Those hits include "Celebration," "Ladies' Night," "Get Down on It," "Jungle Boogie" and "Hollywood Swinging."

6. Lenny Kravitz: 310,663 votes.

Lenny Kravitz has been eligible for induction since 2014. This is his first nomination. Since debuting in 1989, he's consistently offered up his unique brand of rock to the masses. Some of his biggest hits include "It Ain' Over 'til It's Over," "Again," "Fly Away" and "Are You Gonna Go My Way."

5. Cher: 339,939 votes.

Cher has been eligible for the Rock Hall for over three decades, but 2024 marks her first nomination. Despite her current standing in the Fan Vote, Cher recently bashed the Rock Hall in a December 2023 appearance on [inlink id="cher-nikki-sixx-rock-hall-comments" text="The Kelly Clarkson Show"]. Cher said, "I wouldn't be in it now if they gave me a million dollars ... They can just go you-know-what-themselves."

4. Ozzy Osbourne: 480,292 votes.

Currently, The Prince of Darkness is atop the Fan Vote rankings, and it's not a terribly big surprise. He's been one of the most iconic figures in hard rock and metal for over 50 years. This is Osbourne's first Rock Hall nomination as a solo artist, despite being eligible since 2005. Over course, Ozzy has a history of delayed acknowledgment from the Rock Hall. He was inducted as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006, despite being eligible since 1995.

3. Foreigner: 527,193 votes.

Foreigner has been one of the Rock Hall's most notable snubs over the years. The band has been eligible since 2003, and this is their first nomination. Guitarist/founding member Mick Jones said in response to the nomination, "I deeply appreciate the recognition from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame committee ... Getting this news today is an incredible endorsement of what we have achieved over time."

Similar to Dave Matthews Band, expect Foreigner's fans to really rally and put their support behind these classic rock giants.

2. Peter Frampton: 528,482 votes.

Like Foreigner, Peter Frampton has long been overlooked by the Rock Hall. Despite being eligible since 1997(!), 2024 marks Frampton's first Rock Hall nomination. The guitarist candidly told Billboard he was in the bathroom when he learned of his nomination and let out a scream. Frampton said his band leader Rob Arthur came running once he heard him scream.

"He thought something was wrong," said Frampton. "So, anyway, it was a very good day."

1. Dave Matthews Band: 586,211 votes.

This year marks the second Rock Hall nomination for Dave Matthews Band. They were previously nominated in 2020. That year, the band [inlink id="rock-hall-fan-vote-final-totals" text="won the Fan Vote"], but they failed to be inducted. After the 2024 nomination was announced, DMB didn't waste any time to plug the Fan Vote on social media. Considering their enthusiastic fanbase, don't be surprised if Dave Matthews Band rises in the Fan Vote ranks.
