Lionel Richie’s latest health scare sparked fresh concern after the 77-year-old music legend was hospitalized following a concert in St. Louis.
The “All Night Long” singer reportedly checked himself into the hospital as a precaution after his Saturday night performance, during which fans noticed signs that he may not have been feeling well.
Richie asked for a chair during the show and sat down onstage while finishing his performance. He was also reportedly dealing with mild dehydration.
According to TMZ, Richie was admitted to the intensive care unit, where he underwent testing for possible heart-related issues.
The hospitalization was particularly concerning because it came just months after Richie suffered another medical scare while performing. The back-to-back incidents left fans waiting for answers about the legendary singer’s condition.
Now, there is some encouraging news.
Richie has been released from the hospital and is back home in Los Angeles, PEOPLE confirms. The singer is reportedly “doing great” following his latest hospital stay.
The positive update comes after several worrying days for fans and those close to Richie, as questions continue to surround how his demanding performance schedule could be affecting his health.
Richie Recently Had Another Medical Scare
In June, Richie became dizzy during a concert in Minnesota and had to sit down onstage. He eventually ended the show early and was hospitalized.
Doctors advised him to rest, forcing Richie to postpone several tour dates. He returned to the stage about a week later and reassured fans that he was feeling better.
His ex-wife, Brenda Harvey Richie, also told concerned fans at the time that Richie was OK and would return to performing.
But his latest hospitalization has reportedly renewed concerns among those closest to him.
His Family Reportedly Wants Him to Slow Down
Richie has spent more than five decades performing, recording music and touring around the world. Even at 77, he reportedly has little interest in slowing down.
Sources told the Daily Mail that Richie loves staying busy and remains passionate about his career.
One insider claimed that money isn’t what keeps the superstar working. Instead, Richie reportedly enjoys performing, connecting with fans and remaining active in the entertainment world.
Despite his recent medical problems, sources say retirement is not something Richie wants to consider.
That attitude has reportedly become a major concern for his family.
His Children Are Reportedly Worried
Richie is the father of three children — Nicole Richie, Miles Richie and Sofia Richie — and insiders claim all three have become increasingly concerned about their father’s health.
According to the Daily Mail, his children are frightened that his demanding schedule could be putting too much stress on him, particularly following his recent hospitalizations.
Nicole and Sofia have reportedly become especially protective of their father and are encouraging him to take better care of himself and slow down.
Miles is also said to share their concerns.
The family reportedly fears that Richie could be pushing himself too hard at a time when his health should come first.
Despite their worries, Richie reportedly remains determined to continue doing what he loves.
The singer has built one of music’s most successful careers, first becoming famous with the Commodores before launching a hugely successful solo career. His hits include “Hello,” “All Night Long,” “Dancing on the Ceiling” and “Say You, Say Me.”
He has also won multiple Grammy Awards and an Academy Award and helped write the 1985 charity anthem “We Are the World.”
More recently, Richie has introduced himself to a new generation of fans as a judge on American Idol.
For now, the latest hospitalization appears to have put another spotlight on Richie’s health — and on his family’s reported hopes that the legendary performer will finally give himself more time to rest.
