nypost.comLionel Richie ended the opening performance of the Sing A Song All Night Long tour early after falling ill on stage Wednesday evening at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota, GB News reported. The 77-year-old singer experienced dizziness and sat down on multiple occasions during the set.
Videos show him lowering himself to the stage floor during a performance of Dancing on the Ceiling approximately one hour into the show. Richie addressed the audience, stating, "When you're feeling dizzy, sit your a down," according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. He then moved to the piano to perform Three Times a Lady before announcing an unplanned intermission.
He told the crowd he has been in the business long enough to know that if you don't feel right, you sit down. The band remained on stage for about 15 minutes after Richie left before exiting. After roughly 40 minutes, saxophonist Dino Soldo returned and announced that Richie was not feeling well and would not continue.
"Unfortunately, Lionel is not feeling well. He won't be able to continue. Additional information will be available," Soldo stated. The tour includes 26 dates across North America and is scheduled to conclude at Austin's Moody Center on August 14.
Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire are due to perform in Chicago on Friday.
