Lionel Richie hospitalized in ICU after St. Louis concert

Lionel Richie, the 77-year-old American singer, has been hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU) in St. Louis, Missouri, following a health scare during a concert at The Muny. Witnesses reported that the singer appeared to struggle toward the end of his performance, specifically requesting a chair to finish his final song, ‘All Night Long’.

Richie checked himself into the hospital as a precautionary measure. Medical professionals are currently investigating possible causes, with slight dehydration being a primary consideration. Reports suggest he may be discharged as early as Tuesday, September 1.

This incident follows a similar health scare in June during the opening of his ‘Sing a Song All Night Long’ tour in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he experienced dizziness and had to end a performance early. Richie is currently touring alongside Earth, Wind & Fire.
