Lenny Kravitz responded on his Twitter account yesterday to rumors that he was close to accepting the lead vocals job for the classic rock band Aerosmith. "As much as I am flattered that Aerosmith's camp would consider me to front the band, Steven Tyler is a family friend, and no voice could ever take the place of his," Kravitz tweeted. "I hope the band stays together. They are classic." Aerosmith's legendary vocalist Steven Tyler is taking a two-year hiatus from the band to reportedly work on other projects. The band's guitarist, Joe Perry, has said that the band does not wish to take a break and will seek a temporary replacement singer while Tyler works on "brand Tyler".
