Lenny Kravitz revealed a lot more to fans than he planned on Monday when his skin-tight leather trousers ripped mid-performance, exposing his manhood to the audience at a Stockholm concert — and the Internet.

The “Are You Gonna Go My Way” singer’s wardrobe malfunction in Sweden soon went viral around the world, with Kravitz himself even tweeting about #penisgate.

While the rocker took it in stride — or “Strut” — he is far from the first star to let it all hang out, with even basketball icon LeBron James accidentally flashing sports fans during the NBA Finals.
