Lenny Kravitz Says Upcoming Las Vegas Residency Is a 'Great Warm-Up' to Introduce New Album (Exclusive)

The rock star also discusses his workout regimen for performing his stint in Sin City amid the release of 'Blue Electric Light'

Lenny Kravitz is ready to enter a new era with his recent release Blue Electric Light  — and it involves a high-profile stint in Sin City.

This October, the rock star, 60, is heading to Las Vegas for a five-day residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, which he told PEOPLE will be a "celebration of life, music, love, of rock 'n' roll."

"It's always been a great part of entertainment history, and I thought it'd be a great warm-up, a great place to start and present Blue Electric Light to America," Kravitz said over the phone from Paris.

Even before the residency, he'll be testing out his new material as a headliner at the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi on Saturday, June 1 at Wembley Stadium in London. "When you're in a football stadium, especially for a championship like this, it's intense," he said. "It's like a rock concert."

For some, the physicality of doing a residency — or even the UEFA game — might be a challenge, but for Kravitz, who is already well-acquainted with a rigid workout regimen, doesn't expect to make any drastic changes to how he prepares for his gigs. In short, he's been doing it for years.

"I train five days a week, I lift weights, I do cardio, I eat well, I try to rest well when I can," he said. "It's just part of life — it's not even a question."

His leather pants have the potential to make an appearance during his workouts, too. "If I can do that in leather pants, I'm sure I can do anything," he teases. Except go in the sauna with them.

"I would not do that," he admits with a laugh.

But Kravitz isn't thinking too far ahead, anyway — he's still focused on Blue Electric Light, which was released last Friday.

While there wasn't a "conceptual idea" for it, the "Fly Away" artist's albums always have a different tone, production value and sonic quality that is representative of that particular body of work.

"It's a different part of my life," Kravitz said of the record.

His latest project isn't the only music he's been working on — in fact, he's banked quite a bit during the pandemic.

"There's a lot of stuff that's waiting for me to finish," Kravitz said. "You never know if it's going to be that or something new is going to come in. We'll see, but I do have material waiting."

And a collaboration with his daughter Zoë Kravitz, who is also a musician, isn't out of the question.

"I would love to do anything with my daughter because it's my daughter, and it would have to be an organic creative experience," he said. "We wouldn't just do something to do it just to do it. If something called us to do it, then we would."
