American singer Lionel Richie, 77, received urgent medical care and was placed in intensive care after completing a concert in St. Louis, Missouri, according to reporting by TMZ. The musical artist experienced the health setback shortly after performing on stage at The Muny venue during his ongoing tour.
Concert Interruption and Tour Status
According to TMZ, Richie asked his team to bring him a chair to use during the final song of his set, “All Night Long,” before the performance concluded. Representatives for the singer have not yet issued an official comment regarding his current health status, based on the same reporting. Richie is currently co-headlining the “Sing a Song All Night Long” tour alongside the band Earth, Wind & Fire. The tour itinerary previously scheduled him to perform next in San Francisco on Sept. 26.
Prior Health Incidents on Stage
This development follows a previous health incident during a concert in St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 24, where Richie felt dizzy while performing. That earlier episode prompted him to sit down and finish a few songs before taking a sudden break. He subsequently postponed two concerts before returning to the stage on June 30, at which time he assured fans he was feeling well, according to available coverage.
