And rock star Lenny Kravitz has insisted that his infamous trouser split of 2015 was very much an accident.

'I didn’t rip them!' he has assured MR PORTER at www.mrporter.com. 'They became ripped. It was fine. But it was a little cold in Sweden. I would’ve warmed it up a little, had I known!'

'I didn't rip them!' Lenny Kravitz insists THAT trouser split in 2015 was an accident... and brands ex-fiancée Nicole Kidman 'amazing'

It seems that the 53-year-old hasn't learnt from his mistakes, as he went on to say in the interview: 'Do I have any underwear on now? No. Thus the problems that I incur.'

The incident took place in Stockholm and became known as penisgate when his leather trousers split at the crotch and exposed his modesty. 

In the same piece, Lenny talked about his former loves - namely ex-wife Lisa Bonet and former fiancée Nicole Kidman.

‘Nicole is amazing,’ he said.
