Lenny Kravitz: Rocker Accidentally Exposes Himself After Pants Split During Swedish Concert, Internet Has Hilarious Reaction [PHOTO]
Another celebrity has found themselves to be the butt of the internet's joke following an accidental wardrobe malfunction.
Rocker Lenny Kravitz became the subject of the internet's #penisgate after performing a concert at Stockholm's Grona Lund Theme Park Monday night, where his leather pants split open during his first number. Unfortunately for Kravitz, he had chosen to go commando, which exposed his penis to the shocked crowd.
According to reports he did leave the stage for an outfit change soon after and apologized to the crowd later for ripping his pants. However, photos of videos of the incident quickly surfaced online-making the incident worldwide.
However, it appears most of the internet has reacted pretty hilariously to the incident, with most people laughing about the incident and cracking jokes about it.
Most people reacted with good natured jokes and had fun with the ordeal:
Today is apparently National Underwear Day. Lenny Kravitz: not participating.

I'm sorry to hear that Lenny Kravitz's testicles have fallen out. I hope they make up soon. — Mr Roger Quimbly (@RogerQuimbly) August 5, 2015
Lenny Kravitz shows his nads and he's a "Rock Star." I do it and I'm "banned from Starbucks for life." #Unfair pic.twitter.com/p1YEUUKmgQ

Today I googled "Lenny Kravitz dick flopped out" as I do every Tuesday afternoon for the last 13 years and at long last got positive results — mike wiebe (@mikewiebe) August 4, 2015

Don't worry Lenny Kravitz. You're not the first one to rip his pants in the middle of a song pic.twitter.com/mKv264DqOv — Cierra (@Mizzcierra2893) August 4, 2015
I was expecting Lenny Kravitz's dick to glow like the Pulp Fiction briefcase, so I guess my expectations were too high.

Others appeared to be semi-horrified by the internet's need to share the pictures to the extent they were shared:
I thought I'd go my whole life never feeling pressured into looking at Lenny Kravitz' dick. Ease back Internet, ease back — JamesVincentMcMorrow (@jamesvmcmorrow) August 5, 2015
And others made sure to acknowledge that had Lenny Kravitz been a woman, the reaction would have been different:
Re: the Lenny Kravitz dick-slip. If it was Jennifer Lawrence, we'd be calling out media to stop showing her body without her permission.

And I get it: I was initially giggly and male nudity is not the pop culture sexualized norm. But still, LK deserves some privacy — Jessica Valenti (@JessicaValenti) August 4, 2015
However, perhaps the best reaction was one shared by Kravitz himself, after he screen-shotted a text message from Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and shared it with his fans, using #penisgate:
