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.
