Kravitz draws 6,000 for Bosnia concert - by Irena Knezevic
Lenny Kravitz's concert in Bosnia offered a rare glimpse of international glamour in a nation still struggling with the aftermath of a devastating ethnic war. The rock star thanked his audience in the former Yugoslav republic Thursday for shelling out $21 for the cheap seats, a weighty sum in a country with 40 percent unemployment and an average salary of about $570 a month. "I love and respect you for that," he told the 6,000 fans who gathered at his two-hour show in the Bosnian Serb city of Banja Luka, where he played such hits as American Woman and Mama Said. He also played Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, in tribute to the late superstar.
