Pop legend Lionel Richie has checked himself into a St. Louis hospital following a performance at The Muny in Forest Park.
The 77-year-old singer-songwriter was placed in an intensive care unit as a precaution whilst medical staff test for possible mild dehydration. He is expected to be discharged shortly.
Audience members noted that Richie appeared to struggle towards the end of his set, ultimately finishing his final hit, “All Night Long”, while seated.
This marks the second hospital visit for the musician during his Sing a Song All Night Long tour with Earth, Wind & Fire. In June, Richie cut a show short in St. Paul, Minnesota, after experiencing dizziness on stage.
Addresses released by his team following the earlier scare reassured fans about his recovery. In an official statement shared on Instagram, Richie stated:
“Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love. I’m doing well, and I’m grateful for all of you.”
He returned to the tour a month later, though his latest admission has raised fresh concerns regarding his health.
