American singer Lionel Richie hospitalised in ICU after concert

American singer Lionel Richie has been hospitalized in the ICU after a recent concert. The 77-year-old Grammy Award-winning musician reportedly asked for a chair as he concluded a show in Missouri, USA, on Saturday, August 29, while performing his hit song "All Night Long." Following the performance, Richie checked himself into the hospital for precautionary tests and is currently still in the intensive care unit, with an expected release on Tuesday.

The next stop on his Sing A Song All Night Long Tour is scheduled for September 26 in San Francisco. In June, Richie had to postpone two concerts due to illness during the tour's opening night. He returned to the stage on June 30 and expressed gratitude for the support he received. Despite facing challenges, Richie continues to thrive in his career, enjoying a successful comeback through sold-out arena tours and his ongoing role as a judge on American Idol.

His timeless classics, such as "Hello," "All Night Long (All Night)," "Say You, Say Me," and "Dancing On The Ceiling," remain staples of his live performances.
