Lionel Richie undergoes heart procedure, cancels three shows
–
Neutral summary
Lionel Richie, 77, has been hospitalized and undergone a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. This is the third hospitalization for the singer in three months: he was previously admitted in June and August, and in early September he felt unwell on stage. His representative said in a statement: “Lionel underwent a common procedure for Atrial fibrillation (AFib). The doctor said everything went perfectly… Lionel is doing great, but will take some time off and will be back on stage soon.” Three upcoming dates of his joint tour with Earth, Wind & Fire have been canceled: September 26 in San Francisco, September 30 in Chicago, and October 2 in Columbus, Ohio. According to some reports, the singer is expected to return to the stage on October 14 in Las Vegas. Several outlets report that doctors performed an ablation, a minimally invasive procedure that creates small scars in heart tissue to restore a normal rhythm. NBC News reports that the hospitalization could also threaten an upcoming Las Vegas residency.
