Lionel Richie Pauses Mid-Tour

Lionel Richie’s tour kicked off in St. Paul with a dizzying twist—he collapsed mid-song, sat down on stage during “Dancing on the Ceiling,” and joked with fans before taking an impromptu piano break. While some fans were bummed they didn’t get the full 90-minute show, others praised him for still performing at 77. He’d seemed fine before the show, even posting about sound checks, and his bandmate Earth, Wind & Fire’s drummer noted he was just dehydrated. This is the first of 26 shows on the “Sing Along All Night Long” tour, which he’s done before with the band, including a postponed NYC date due to weather. Up next: Chicago on June 26, with stops across the U.S., UK, Malta, and Brazil later this year. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
