Lenny Kravitz is planning to wing it.

The “Fly Away” crooner revealed he will not write a father-of-the-bride speech for his daughter Zoë Kravitz’s upcoming wedding to Channing Tatum.

“It just comes at the moment. I don’t rehearse those things,” he told “Entertainment Tonight” at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards Sunday night, adding that his words will come “from the heart.”

Lenny, 59, added in an interview with E! News that he is “looking forward” to the nuptials, going on to gush over his soon-to-be son-in-law.

“I do love him,” he said. “We’re good friends. A lot of mutual respect. And my daughter’s happy.”

The Grammy winner made sure to note that he would be open to performing on the couple’s big day but would never dream of charging them.

“There is no fee. Are you kidding?” he remarked, reminding the reporter that “it’s [his] daughter.”

Regardless of whether he sings at the pair’s ceremony and/or reception, Lenny is certain he won’t be going up against the “Magic Mike” star, 43, on the dance floor.
