Lionel Richie Hospitalized After Health Scare on Stage
2 Sep
Summary
- Lionel Richie is in intensive care undergoing cardiac tests.
- He experienced a health scare after his St. Louis concert.
- This follows a similar incident in Minnesota earlier this year.
Lionel Richie is currently in intensive care following a health scare that occurred after his St. Louis concert. The legendary singer is undergoing medical testing for cardiac-related concerns. Initially hoping for a discharge on Tuesday, sources suggest he may remain hospitalized an additional day.
The health scare prompted Richie to seek hospital testing after experiencing difficulties during his Saturday night performance at The Muny. He reportedly appeared to be struggling towards the end of his set, even requesting a chair for his final song. This hospitalization is reminiscent of an incident in June, where Richie abruptly ended a concert in Minnesota due to feeling dizzy.
Following that earlier event, two concerts were postponed before Richie resumed his tour. He and Earth, Wind & Fire concluded their joint tour earlier this month. Richie has ten more shows scheduled for 2026, with the next performance slated for September 26 in San Francisco.
