Lionel Richie postpones multiple concerts after heart procedure
Lionel Richie has postponed three upcoming shows and delayed his Las Vegas residency following a routine atrial fibrillation procedure, his representatives said.
Lionel Richie has postponed three scheduled concerts after undergoing a routine procedure to treat atrial fibrillation, his representatives said on Tuesday. The shows in San Francisco, Chicago and Columbus have been delayed with no new dates announced.
"Lionel underwent a common procedure for Atrial fibrillation (AFib). The doctor said everything went perfectly. Lionel is doing great but will take some time off and will be back on stage soon," a spokesperson for the singer said.
Richie's Las Vegas residency at the Encore Theater in Wynn Las Vegas, slated for mid-October and early November, remains uncertain, as a hotel representative could not be reached for comment.
The singer previously experienced health issues, including a dizzy spell that forced him to end a June 24 performance in St. Paul, Minnesota, after briefly sitting down on stage during the song "Dancing on the Ceiling."
