Singer Lionel Richie hospitalized after St. Louis concert: Reports - EverythingLubbock.com

Lionel Richie checked himself into a St.

TMZ first reported the hospitalization. According to that report, Richie asked for a chair while performing "All Night Long," the final song of the night, appearing to have difficulty finishing the set. ABC News confirmed he checked himself in, and a source told Rolling Stone that Richie is doing OK.

Doctors tested him for possible dehydration. The Muny is an outdoor amphitheater, and summer heat at outdoor venues can hit performers hard, especially during physically demanding sets.

This is not the first health scare of his summer tour. In June, he ended a concert early in St. Paul.

For folks in Lubbock who have tickets to an upcoming Richie show, no cancellations have been reported. His condition appears stable, and the hospitalization was described as a precaution rather than an emergency.

Richie has been one of the most consistent touring acts of his generation, so two health-related concert incidents within the same summer is something his fanbase will be watching closely.
