Lionel Richie reportedly asked for a chair during his latest concert, then went to a hospital in St. Louis after the show.

The singer performed at The Muny, a local opera theater, on Saturday night. Sources cited by TMZ said Richie experienced discomfort during the performance but completed the concert with the help of a chair brought by his team.

Doctors have not identified the cause of the hospitalization. The same sources said they were investigating possible mild dehydration. Richie remained in intensive care under close medical observation, with an expected discharge on Tuesday.

The incident came about two months after Richie was taken to a hospital following another concert in St. Paul, Minnesota. During that performance, he told the audience he felt dizzy and strange and decided to shorten the show. Paramedics later found him backstage and transported him by ambulance.
