Lenny Kravitz Remembers Late Godmother Cicely Tyson in Heartfelt Message

Lenny Kravitz Remembers Late Godmother Cicely Tyson in Heartfelt Message

Lenny Kravitz is honoring his godmother Cicely Tyson.

The 56-year-old musician took to Instagram on Friday (January 29) to share a heartfelt message remembering the iconic actress after she died the day before at the age of 96.

“With inimitable style and grace, my dear Godmother Miss Cicely Tyson made her grand exit to the heavens,” Lenny wrote. “She lived a remarkable life up to the last moment. A true pioneer, who bared her heart and soul so we could witness the spirit of the characters she so brilliantly portrayed, which continue to move and inspire generations.”

Along with his post, Lenny shared several photos of he and Cicely hugging over the years along with a photo of her memoir Just As I Am, which she released just two days before her passing.

“A Black queen who showed us how beautiful black is. The love between us was and is tremendous,” Lenny continued. “As long as I have had consciousness, I’ve known Godmother. She and my mother were kindred spirits. Sisters. And after my mother passed, Godmother’s role in my life was amplified. I constantly felt her spirit over me. She always gave me unconditional support. She came to my shows, came over for holidays, met me for dinners, stayed with me in Paris when I first moved there, and never let me too far out of her sight.”

“Our phone calls went on sometimes for hours. We spoke just a few nights ago and talked about everything. She had just sent me her book that has been sitting on my nightstand where it will remain,” Lenny concluded. “She did it all, wrote the book, and then God called her. I can hear Godmother saying ‘ok, now y’all can read about it, I’m going home’. Rest peacefully, Godmother. You did it all exquisitely #CicelyTyson”

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
