Singer Lionel Richie Hospitalized in ICU After Recent Show

(KTDY) - Singer Lionel Richie was admitted to a hospital after falling ill at a show in St. Louis, Missouri.

We're following this story closely after several media outlets reported Monday afternoon that the iconic singer and performer was admitted to the hospital for testing.

According to reports we've seen, Lionel Richie asked his staff for a chair to finish the show, and once he was done, he was transported to a hospital as a precaution.

If this sounds familiar, it's because just a few months ago, while performing on stage in Minnesota, Richie fell ill and had to cancel his show just minutes after starting.

Following that health scare, and on his doctor's advice, he was then forced to cancel two other shows.

When the iconic singer fell ill on stage, he complained of dizziness.

TMZ reports that fans noticed the singer struggling to finish his show, and as mentioned above, he had to end it while sitting in a chair.

Lionel Richie is 77 years old, and we will continue to monitor this developing entertainment story. At this time, his team has not addressed this latest health scare or his status in the ICU.
