People reported that the 77-year-old singer entered the hospital voluntarily and was discharged on Wednesday. He flew home the same day and said he felt “great.” Richie had sought medical attention after having difficulty staying on his feet during Saturday’s concert at The Muny in St. Louis.

TMZ later reported that Richie was undergoing cardiac tests. The episode followed another health scare in late June, when he ended a concert in Minnesota early after telling the audience he felt dizzy. He then postponed shows in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, saying his doctors had advised him to “rest and fully recover his health.”
