Lionel Richie was hospitalized in St. Louis after headlining a concert at The Muny, capping a summer in which the 77 year old singer twice appeared to struggle onstage and sat down mid performance.
The circumstances have not been confirmed by Richie or his representatives. Rolling Stone reported that the singer is doing well, citing a source close to the tour. TMZ, whose report other outlets followed, said he checked himself into a local hospital after the show for tests and that doctors were looking into possible slight dehydration. Those accounts rest on unnamed sources, and no diagnosis, treatment, or condition has been announced on the record.
