Lionel Richie was hospitalised in St Louis, Missouri, on Monday, following a concert at The Muny in Forest Park over the weekend. The reasons for his hospitalisation have not yet been disclosed, but it marks the latest in a series of health scares that have disrupted the 77-year-old singer's touring schedule throughout the summer.

Richie fell ill during a concert in Minnesota, feeling dizzy while performing "Dancing on the Ceiling," and was taken to hospital from the Grand Casino Arena in late June. On doctors' orders, he subsequently postponed shows in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, to rest and recover. In July, he reassured fans via social media that he was "doing well", thanking them for their support, though the latest hospitalisation suggests his health issues have persisted.
