Lionel Richie hospitalised in intensive care after St Louis concert
Lionel Richie was reportedly admitted to intensive care for tests after his August 29 concert in St Louis, where he asked for a chair during “All Night Long”.
Grammy Award-winning musician Lionel Richie, 77, has been admitted to the ICU after a concert in St. Louis, Missouri. The musician, who was performing on his "Sing a Song All Night Long" tour with Earth, Wind & Fire, reportedly requested a chair as he wrapped up his show on August 29. TMZ claims Richie checked himself into the hospital the following day to undergo tests, and he remained in the intensive care unit as of August 31.
The outlet predicts Richie will be discharged on Tuesday. Richie is currently on tour with Earth, Wind & Fire, with the next show scheduled for September 26 in San Francisco. In late June, the singer had to postpone two concerts due to illness, with the first occurring during the tour's opening night in St. Paul when he began feeling dizzy and left the stage early.
A saxophonist took over the performance, informing the audience that Richie would not continue. Richie later joked about his recent health troubles during a later show, expressing gratitude for the support he received from fans. His representatives have not yet commented on Richie's current condition.
