Lionel Richie, the renowned singer known for hits like “All Night Long,” is currently hospitalized due to heart issues. The 77-year-old artist is receiving treatment for an irregular heartbeat and is reportedly undergoing minimally invasive surgery for atrial fibrillation.
Due to his health concerns, the next three shows of his tour with Earth, Wind & Fire have been canceled, but he is still scheduled to perform a series of six shows in Las Vegas starting October 14 as part of his “King of Hearts” campaign, followed by performances in Brazil.
Richie has faced health challenges during his tours, having been hospitalized multiple times for cardiac assessments. Recently, he spent three days in the ICU after feeling unwell at a concert in St. Louis.
In a previous interview, Richie reflected on his experiences in the music industry and admitted that writing his memoir, “Truly,” made him realize the toll that a lifetime in show business has taken on him. His representative has not commented on his current condition.
