Lionel Richie Is Back Home and ‘Doing Great’ Following 3-Day Hospitalization

The “Hello” singer checked himself into the hospital on Aug. 29 and subsequently underwent cardiac tests, PEOPLE previously reported

Lionel Richie has been released from the hospital.

Earlier this week, the “Hello” singer checked himself in as a precaution after performing a show in St. Louis on Saturday evening. Now, he’s back home in Los Angeles and “doing great,” PEOPLE confirms.

The 77-year-old star was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), where he underwent cardiac tests, TMZ previously reported. He was expected to fly home on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

During his show on Aug. 29 at The Muny in St. Louis, Richie asked his team to bring him a chair while performing his final song, “All Night Long,” TMZ reported.

The “Truly” singer is currently on the road with  Earth, Wind & Fire for the Sing a Song All Night Long tour.

Two months ago, during the first of the tour in June, Richie cut his performance short after becoming ill onstage, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.

At the time, the outlet reported that he told the crowd he was feeling dizzy and joked that he had never performed “Dancing on the Ceiling” while seated.

“When you’re feeling dizzy, sit your ass down,” Richie joked.

He went on to postpone two shows to “rest and return to full health,” before returning to the stage on June 30.

“Had you worried there for a minute, huh?” the “All Night Long” singer joked with the crowd, according to TribLive. “You have no idea what I have been through in the last 24 hours, listening to my friends tell me their advice on what I should be doing.”

Then, in July, he shared a hopeful message on Instagram, saying he was “doing well.”

“Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love. ❤️ I’m doing well, and I’m grateful for all of you,” he wrote. “Pittsburgh and Detroit were an absolute joy. The energy, the dancing, the faces in the crowd… we made real memories together. See you in Toronto… let’s party all night long! 🎉.”

Richie’s next show is scheduled for Sept. 26 in San Francisco.
