Lenny Kravitz has been admitted to hospital in Miami suffering from severe bronchitis, his spokeswoman confirmed.

The 43-year-old was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital yesterday morning suffering from "extreme dehydration and fatigue".

Kravitz had been suffering from the flu since January and a series of respiratory infections have led to bronchitis.

The musician's spokeswoman said: "Doctors were unable to control it with outpatient treatment and advised the singer to check into the hospital. He was taken this morning (February 11) to the emergency room at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami for immediate treatment."

Kravitz has been forced to postpone his upcoming European tour in support of new album It Is Time For A Love Revolution.
