Lionel Richie has left a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, after three days in intensive care and a series of heart tests, People reported.

The 77-year-old singer and songwriter voluntarily entered the hospital as a precaution after experiencing difficulty staying upright during Saturday’s concert at The Muny in St. Louis. Entertainment outlet TMZ initially reported that doctors attributed the incident to slight dehydration, then reported that Richie was undergoing cardiac tests.

Richie flew back to his home in Los Angeles on Wednesday and said he felt “great,” according to People. The Grammy winner had faced another health problem in late June, when he ended a concert in Minnesota early after telling the audience he felt dizzy.

After that incident, which occurred during the opening stop of his “Sing a Song All Night Long” tour, Richie postponed concerts scheduled in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio. He said his doctors had advised him to rest and fully recover. The tour, which he is sharing with Earth, Wind & Fire, is scheduled to continue in San Francisco on Sept. 26.
