The music icon assured fans he is "doing well" after a dizzy spell forced him to cut short a concert and postpone two shows.

Lionel Richie has broken his silence following a health scare that interrupted the opening night of his latest tour. The 77-year-old singer reassured fans through a social media post that he is recovering and grateful for their support .

Richie expressed his appreciation in an Instagram update, writing, "Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love. I'm doing well, and I'm grateful for all of you" . The heartfelt message came as he shared photos showcasing his high-energy performances from recent concerts.

The "All Night Long" singer's health concerns arose on June 25 in St. Paul, Minnesota, during the launch of his Sing A Song All Night Long Tour with Earth, Wind & Fire . Richie was forced to leave the stage early after telling the audience he felt "dizzy" while performing "Dancing on the Ceiling" . Witnesses reported seeing him sit down on stage before exiting.

Following the incident, paramedics evaluated Richie backstage before transporting him to a hospital for precautionary measures . Medical professionals advised him to rest, leading to the postponement of scheduled shows on June 26 in Chicago and June 27 in Columbus, Ohio . Organizers released a statement confirming the postponements and promising to announce rescheduled dates soon.

Back on Stage and Looking Ahead

Richie successfully returned to the stage on June 30 in Pittsburgh, followed by a performance in Detroit . He described both shows as an "absolute joy," praising the energy and connection with fans .

The Grammy-winning artist remains focused on the tour, which celebrates his extensive five-decade music catalog alongside Earth, Wind & Fire . He concluded his update by looking forward to the upcoming show in Toronto, writing, "See you in Toronto… let's party all night long!" .

While Richie has not disclosed specific details about his condition, sources close to the star indicate that he is awaiting further medical test results but remains optimistic that the issue is temporary . The tour continues as scheduled, with fans expressing relief at seeing the beloved performer back in good spirits.
