Lionel Richie<\/a> has spoken out for the first time following the mid-show health scare that sent him to the hospital on June 24.<\/p>\n

The “All Night Long” hitmaker took to Instagram to share performance photos from his Pittsburgh and Detroit concerts, telling fans he’s “doing well” and thankful for all the love he’s received.<\/p>\n

And, he ended the post by confirming he is headed to Toronto for his next gig.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As we told you, Lionel\u00a0cut his performance short<\/a>\u00a0at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota on June 24 after saying he felt “dizzy” and “strange.” He was then sent to the hospital<\/a> and treated for his symptoms.<\/p>\n

Lionel was ultimately ordered by docs to take it easy, causing him to postpone<\/a> his Chicago and Columbus, Ohio tour dates.<\/p>\n

But, he was back in his groove<\/a> Tuesday night in Pittsburgh … and it looks like he has no plans of slowing down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lionel Richie Back on Stage and Feeling Fine!
