Lionel Richie has thanked his fans for their support after a dizzy spell on stage prompted him to postpone several concerts.
Richie, 77, shared an update on Instagram over the weekend, including photos of himself smiling and performing. "Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love," he wrote. "I’m doing well, and I’m grateful for all of you."
He added, "Pittsburgh and Detroit were an absolute joy. The energy, the dancing, the faces in the crowd… we made real memories together. See you in Toronto… let’s party all night long!"
Nearly a week prior, Richie experienced the dizzy spell during the tour opener in Minnesota, leading to doctor-advised rest and the postponement of his scheduled concerts in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio.
"Under advisement by doctors to rest and return to full health, Lionel Richie has postponed his next two shows," read an Instagram post from the United Center at the time. "Lionel is heartbroken to postpone these two shows and cannot wait to be back performing for his fans."
A St. Paul Fire Department public information officer confirmed that an individual was transported from Grand Casino Arena on June 24, 2026, to a local hospital. No further details regarding the specific nature of Richie's health scare have been released.
The incident occurred about an hour into his concert at the Grand Casino Arena. While performing "Dancing on the Ceiling," Richie paused, took a seat on a platform, and later informed the crowd he was feeling lightheaded. He reportedly made a joke, saying, "When you’re feeling dizzy, sit your a– down."
Richie then transitioned to playing "Three Times a Lady" on the piano while seated. Audience members were informed of the show's cancellation after waiting approximately 40 additional minutes for an official update.
