Lionel Richie Goes From Stage to ICU

Lionel Richie finished the show this time, but he went to a hospital in St. Louis after his concert this weekend in St. Louis. The 77-year-old singer, who cut short his tour opener in Minnesota in June after feeling dizzy, performed at the Muny on Saturday, TMZ reports, then admitted himself to an intensive care unit. Richie is reported to be stable, per the Los Angeles Times. He was hospitalized after the earlier issue, as well.

Richie, who asked for a chair while closing the concert with "All Night Long," acknowledged his health issues to the audience, per the St. Louis American. "Some things have been happening on this tour that kind of shook me up a little bit, because I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on," Richie said. "I went back to the doctor, and he said, 'You are suffering from dehydration.'" The former lead singer of the Commodores made sure to pause to drink during Saturday's show, which, despite his challenges, the American called "a high-energy night." Richie's next performance is scheduled for Sept. 26 in San Francisco.
