Lionel Richie has postponed his scheduled June 27th performance in Columbus, Ohio, on the advice of his doctors due to a recent illness. The concert, originally planned with Earth, Wind & Fire at The Schottenstein Center, will be rescheduled. This follows the postponement of a June 26th show in Chicago.
Richie's opening night in Minnesota was also cut short approximately 55 minutes into his set. He informed the audience of about 10,000 people that he was feeling dizzy and performed his hit "Dancing on the Ceiling" while seated. The band later stopped the performance, and an announcement was made that Richie was unwell and could not continue.
Rescheduled dates for the postponed concerts will be announced soon, though further details were not immediately available. The venue expressed that Richie is heartbroken to postpone these shows and eager to perform for his fans again.
