The multi-instrumentalist has five platinum albums and four Grammy Awards, thanks to hits like “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over,” “Fly Away,” American Woman” and “Again.” This month marks the 30th anniversary of his double platinum third album, “Are You Gonna Go My Way.”
“I’m thrilled to host and perform at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards to celebrate the best in music,” Kravitz said in a statement, according to People. “As always, the show will feature some great surprises and unforgettable performances that music fans across the country won’t want to miss.”
