Rocker Lenny Kravitz had what may be the ultimate Spinal Tap moment on Saturday. Kravitz got lost on his way to the stage at Atlantic City’s Borgata casino.

“We’re lost. We can’t find our way to the stage,” said a confused Kravitz in his own cell phone video of the incident.

It began when Kravitz got separated from his handlers and went astray inside The Borgata. Kravitz chronicled his excellent adventure through the resort on his iPhone and later posted it to Twitter to prove to fans he wasn’t blowing off his show.

“This is one of those real Spinal Tap moments,” Kravitz said riding a hotel elevator over and over. “This s—- is crazy.”

Once he made it off the elevator, Kravitz stood in a rotunda near the casino floor waiting for someone to notice him.

“I’m just gonna stand here until someone figures out that I need to be on stage,” he said.

Funny thing was, no one did, except for his fans.

“All you people think I got my stuff together and I’m so slick and so cool, I’m actually not,” the musician said.

Kravitz was finally rescued by a Borgata security guard who led him to the resort’s event center almost an hour after he was supposed to take the stage.
