American Idol is coming back for its 25th season, and its 10th on ABC early next year. So is the show going to keep it safe, or are they going to change things up for the milestone season?
Yesterday, during Luke Bryan’s Nashville concert, he made the announcement with Carrie Underwood in person and Lionel Richie via remote that they will all be back behind the desk.
Part of me wishes they would switch it up. However, when they did that on Fox, we got the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, and Ellen DeGeneres. So maybe it is better to have these three than whoever they could replace them with.
However, I still wish they would get rid of Ryan Seacrest.
For the third time since Lionel Richie hit the road with Earth, Wind & Fire for the Sing a Song All Night Long tour in June, he has been hospitalized. However, this current hospitalization, his second in a month, might have finally fixed what is wrong with him.
The 77-year-old was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and underwent a minor heart procedure to get his heart back into a normal rhythm.
His people said in a statement, “The doctor said everything went perfectly. Lionel is doing great but will take some time off and will be back on stage soon.”
Because he needs some time to recover, he is forced to cancel his next three dates, which were scheduled for the upcoming week.
As of now, the show is still expected to go on for his Las Vegas residency, which begins on October 14th.
If his heart stays in a normal rhythm, he should be fine. So let’s pray that he can go back to partying all night, all night long.
Lionel Richie was hospitalized in St. Louis on Saturday after a stop on the Sing a Song All Night Long tour with Earth, Wind & Fire, and has been there ever since for tests.
Original reports said that the 77-year-old singer would be released today, but TMZ says that he is still there undergoing more tests for “cardiac-related issues” and remains in the intensive care unit.
Hopefully, they will figure out what is wrong with him. Then he can get back to Los Angeles and rest up before his next scheduled concert on September 26th.
Lionel Richie is on tour with Earth, Wind and Fire. For the second time since the end of June, he has spent multiple nights in the hospital.
According to TMZ, the 77-year-old singer was not feeling well after Saturday’s show in St. Louis, so he asked to go to the hospital for some tests.
Although they did not say what those tests were for, they did say he was admitted to the ICU for “mild dehydration.
The singer is expected to be released tomorrow. Then he will be able to go home and rest because his next concert is not until September 26th. It is the first of ten dates, including a Vegas residency, that are scheduled between then and the new year.
Get well soon so you can perform all night, all night long.
Yesterday was the start of Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire’s Sing A Song All Night Long Tour. However, Richie had to leave the show early because he felt dizzy. As a precaution, he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance.
While he has not posted any updates on his health, the next two venues did. That is because he and EWF are postponing the next two dates.
Both the United Center and the Schottenstein Center posted this message on social media: “Under advisement by doctors to rest and return to full health, Lionel Richie has postponed his next two shows on Friday, June 26, in Chicago, IL, and Saturday, June 27, in Columbus, OH. He and Earth, Wind & Fire will return to the stage on Tuesday, June 30 in Pittsburgh, PA. Lionel is heartbroken to postpone these two shows and cannot wait to be back performing for his fans.”
Hopefully, he will be feeling better by their next date after those two which is July 1st in Michigan.
