Lionel Richie has checked out of a St. Louis‑area hospital. People.com reported that Richie, 77, was discharged from an undisclosed facility on Wednesday and flew home to Los Angeles immediately afterward.
Richie admitted himself to the ICU following his headlining performance at The Muny’s 2026 season finale concert. According to TMZ.com, he underwent cardiac tests while hospitalized.
He performed the show without incident — aside from taking a seat during the finale performance of “All Night Long.” Richie also mentioned his previous health scare during the concert and drank electrolytes throughout the night.
People.com reported that a source close to Richie said he is “back home in Los Angeles and doing great.”
Richie is currently touring as part of the “Sing a Song All Night Long” tour, which he co‑headlines with Earth, Wind & Fire. Their next stop is scheduled for Sept. 26 in San Francisco.
