Summary

  • Lionel Richie told fans he is "doing well" and returned to the stage in Pittsburgh and Detroit, posting concert photos and promising Toronto, "let’s party all night long!"
  • The comeback followed a health scare on June 24, when Richie became dizzy about an hour into his Minnesota tour opener, sat down mid-song and later left the stage.
  • Doctors then ordered rest, prompting postponements of his Chicago and Columbus shows, while a St. Paul fire official confirmed one person was taken from the arena to a local hospital.
  • No further details about the episode have been released, but Richie’s weekend performances signaled the tour is back on track after the brief interruption.
