American rocker Lenny Kravitz once chastised a woman who mistook him for reggae legend BOB MARLEY - who had died nine years previously.

The Are You Gonna Go My Way singer admits he's often recognised as other celebrities, although he's learned to accept this is a consequence of being famous.

But he was left open-mouthed in 1990 when a passer-by identified him as Marley - who famously lost his battle with cancer in 1981.

He told the woman, "Darling, I don't know where you've been but the man is dead." (CAM/WNBTI/TN)
