Rocker Lenny Kravitz was taken to a Miami hospital on Monday suffering from an extreme case of Bronchitis, a spokesperson for the singer said.

The 43-year old singer had been suffering from a series of severe respiratory tract infections stemming from the flu since mid-january, and the illness evolved into bronchitis.

In a statement obtained by the A.P., the spokeswoman said, “Due to extreme dehydration and fatigue, doctors were unable to control it with outpatient treatment and advised the singer to check into the hospital. He was taken this morning to the emergency room at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami for immediate treatment.”

Details on Kravitz’ condition and his expected stay were not immediately available, however his illness forced him to postpone a trip to Europe, where he was set to promote his new album It Is Time For a Love Revolution, which was released last week.

Lenny Kravitz’ new album lifts the lid on his rift with his late father, Sy. The singer left the family home when he was just 15-years-old because he couldn’t bear to watch his father regularly cheat on his mother.

He says, “We never saw eye to eye and I moved out when I was 15. I was a mama’s boy, and his infidelities were something I took personally.” The pair met and reconciled shortly before Sy died in 2005. In new track A Long and Sad Goodbye – from Kravitz’ latest album It is Time for a Love Revolution – he sings, “Papa why did you turn your back? Why didn’t you stay on track?”

Lenny Kravitz has said that he has a hard time staying faithful to women. He has been linked to stars Adriana Lima, Natalie Imbruglia, Kylie Minogue, and Penelope Cruz and claims that his father’s womanizing style left him with so many issues that he ended up cheating himself.

He said: “My father hurt my mother Roxie a lot, not physically but emotionally through his affairs, which was hard to witness as a kid. I moved out of my home when I was 15 because of my dad.”

“When I was 18 my dad told me, ‘You’ll do the same thing as me one day.’ When your father tells you that you’ll end up being unfaithful like him that’s something that can follow you around for a long time.”

“I had lots of issues when it came to being faithful to women and I’ve had to fight it a lot in my life. Infidelity has been partly responsible for ending some of my relationships.”

Maybe he just hasn’t found the right woman yet?

Lenny Kravitz is refusing to confirm or deny he’s the man who was secretly engaged to Nicole Kidman between her marriages to Tom Cruise and Keith Urban.

The actress recently stunned fans when she revealed she had briefly accepted a marriage proposal before she wed Urban last year in Vanity Fair magazine — but she refused to name names.

Kravitz and film producer Steve Bing were the most likely candidates as Kidman dated them exclusively after her marriage to Cruise ended.

But Kravitz insists the identity of the mystery fiance will remain a secret, as far as he’s concerned.

He says, “I keep that to myself. I feel like that is private and it’s between the two of us, so I just leave it there.
