The legendary entertainer, 77, was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after performing a concert in St. Louis, Missouri on Saturday night. TMZ reported Lionel was hospitalized “to have some tests run” after he fell ill during the show.
A source has opened up saying that Lionel is “doing okay,” but now another source says that he’s remaining hospitalized while more tests are run.
Latest update on Lionel Richie
TMZ reported on September 1 that Lionel is “undergoing testing for cardiac-related issues” and it’s expected that he’ll be released on Wednesday.
The news comes after it was previously assumed that he would be released on Tuesday. The initial belief was that Lionel was dealing with dehydration amid his tour.
What happened to Lionel Richie?
During his Saturday night show, Lionel reportedly needed to sit down for his final song, “All Night Long.” His team brought him a chair on stage after he appeared to be struggling, according to TMZ.
Thankfully Lionel will have some time to recover before he heads back on the road because his website lists his next show as September 26.
Back in June, Lionel was hospitalized after he got sick on stage at another show. He told the crowd at that performance that he was feeling “dizzy” while performing and he had to sit down. He was reportedly met with paramedics backstage and taken by ambulance to a hospital as a precautionary measure.
Lionel recently took a jab at two popular entertainers who are currently on tour together.
