Lenny Kravitz has reportedly agreed to replace Scott Weiland as the singer in Velvet Revolver.

According to The Sun, Kravitz was "spotted in the studio" with the American rockers during recent weeks.

The singer teamed up with Revolver guitarist Slash in 1991 on his solo LP Mama Said.

"The band wanted a big name who could easily hold his own and reckon Lenny is just the man for the job," said a source.

Earlier this week, Velvet Revolver denied rumours that Spacehog's Royston Langdon was joining the band.

Kravitz is scheduled to play on the Main Stage at this weekend's V Festival.
