Lionel Richie hospitalized following St. Louis performance: Report
On Saturday, singer Lionel Richie was hospitalized in the intensive care unit following his performance at The Muny in Forest Park, Louis, Missouri.
Witnesses reported that Richie struggled toward the end of his performance, and staff provided a chair for his finale song, "All Night Long," while sources told TMZ he is being evaluated for possible dehydration.
Writing on Instagram, Richie stated he is "heartbroken to postpone these two shows and cannot wait to be back," though his current condition remains unknown as of this report.
Doctors expect the performer to be discharged as soon as Tuesday; this follows a medical issue during his summer 2026 tour opening in June that forced him to end a show early.
TMZ and FOX News confirmed the situation from reporting in San Jose, with Richie under advisement by doctors to rest and return to full health.
