Lionel Richie cuts concert after feeling dizzy

American music legend and Grammy-winning singer Lionel Richie, 77, stopped his recent concert at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota, after feeling dizzy. According to People magazine, the incident took place during the opening night of his “Sing A Song All Night Long” tour alongside Earth, Wind & Fire. Lionel was performing the song “Dancing on the Ceiling”, when he took a seat. The four-time Grammy Award winner then told the crowd that he was feeling dizzy. “When you’re feeling dizzy, sit your ass down,” he joked, before walking towards a piano to perform “Three Times a Lady” and then taking an impromptu intermission. Richie’s band stayed onstage for about 15 minutes before leaving as recorded music played. About 40 minutes into the intermission, Band saxophonist Dino Soldo announced that the singer would no longer be able to perform due to his illness. “Unfortunately, Lionel is not feeling well. He won’t be able to continue. Additional information will be available,” Dino said. Richie’s side has not yet released an official statement regarding the current state of his health. TMZ reported that Richie was met by paramedics backstage and transported to a hospital as a precautionary measure. Some of his many popular songs include “Hello,” “My Love,” “Say You, Say Me,” “Stuck on You,” “Penny Lover,” and “Endless Love” (duet with Diana Ross).
