Lionel Richie, 77, breaks silence on health scare after undergoing heart procedure

Lionel Richie, 77, told fans he is “doing just fine” during a Las Vegas performance, his first public update after several health scares and a heart procedure. His reassurance matters as he has continued to perform despite recent medical problems and concerns from his family.

Richie underwent a routine procedure for atrial fibrillation in September, and his representative said it went well. Earlier in the summer, he was taken to hospital after becoming dizzy during a show and later struggled to finish a concert in St Louis, leading to cancelled performances. He has also announced he will return as a judge on Season 25 of “American Idol”.
