Lionel Richie Hospitalized After St. Louis Concert, Undergoes Medical Evaluation
Singer Lionel Richie, 77, was hospitalized in St. Louis after his concert at The Muny on August 29, reportedly due to possible slight dehydration. Witnesses noted he struggled near the end of the performance and requested a chair for his final song. Richie self-admitted for precautionary tests and is reported to be stable and expected to be discharged soon. This follows a similar health scare in June when he became dizzy during a concert in Minnesota. Richie plans to resume touring in September.
