Lionel Richie Hospitalized in St. Louis After Concert, Reported Stable
Singer Lionel Richie, 77, was hospitalized in St. Louis after his concert at The Muny, reportedly due to slight dehydration. He requested a chair during his final song, then self-checked into a hospital for tests and was admitted to the ICU. Sources say Richie is stable and doing okay. This follows a previous incident in June when he cut a Minnesota show short due to dizziness. Richie has upcoming tour dates scheduled for later this year.
