Lionel Richie has returned to his Los Angeles home after three days in intensive care, easing fans’ fears following an alarming concert in St. Louis.

The 77-year-old singer appeared visibly exhausted during a performance at The Muny on Aug. 29. While singing “All Night Long,” he asked his team to bring him a chair so he could finish the song sitting down. He completed the performance, then admitted himself to hospital as a precaution.

Richie was initially reported to be suffering from dehydration. Concern grew when sources said doctors were carrying out detailed cardiac examinations. After three days of uncertainty, a person close to his team told People that Richie had been released and was recovering at home. “He feels excellent,” the source said.

No official changes had been announced to the remaining schedule of his “Sing a Song All Night Long” tour, including a planned San Francisco show on Sept. 26. Richie had also cut short a June 24 concert in St. Paul, Minnesota, after telling the audience he felt strange and dizzy. He later cancelled shows in Chicago and Columbus on medical advice.

He feels excellent.
