Lenny Kravitz Believes Social Media Can Help Him Find Lost Sunglasses

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Singer Lenny Kravitz has lost a special pair of sunglasses, but "it ain't over 'til it's over" – he is hoping social media can help find them.

Kravitz tweeted this week that a pair of vintage sunglasses that belonged to a family member went missing after a show at the Shrine Auditorium this weekend.

The sunglasses have gold frames with a trapezoid-shaped nose bridge and five-sided lenses. He was recently photographed wearing them at the MTV Music Video Awards in New York.

The singer, who is almost never seen in public without a pair of large sunglasses, set up an email account to encourage anyone with information to contact him. That email address is kravitzsunglasses@gmail.com.

The effort to find a pair of sunglasses was not lost on social media, however. A spoof Twitter account called "Kravitz Glasses" was immediately set up and tweeted at the singer, "I'm not lost buddy. I just need some me time."
