The 77-year-old singer asked his team for a chair near the end of his performance at The Muny while singing “All night long.” People close to Richie told TMZ he entered the hospital as a precaution and expected to be discharged on Tuesday. Doctors were considering slight dehydration, the report said.

The latest incident follows a late-June concert in Minnesota that Richie ended early after telling the audience he felt “dizzy” and asking for a chair. He later postponed scheduled concerts in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, saying his doctors had advised him to rest and fully recover.
