Lionel Richie<\/a> is in an intensive care in a St. Louis hospital, according to reports from TMZ<\/a> and other news outlets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSources with direct knowledge tell TMZ \u2026 Lionel<\/a> checked himself into a local hospital after his Saturday night (Aug. 29) performance at The Muny in Forest Park (area of St. Louis) to have some tests run,\u201d TMZ reports. \u201cWitnesses at the concert tell us Lionel<\/a> appeared to be struggling a bit toward the end of the show, asking his team to bring him a chair while performing his final song, \u2018All Night Long,\u2019 so he could sit down.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no word on what might be ailing Richie<\/a> or his current medical condition.<\/p>\n

Richie, a longtime road warrior, has a few weeks off before his next scheduled gig \u2014 which falls on Sept. 26 at Chase Center in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

That gig at the home of the Golden State Warriors is itself a make-up\/reschedule date from early August, when the gig was called off \u2014 just minutes before showtime \u2014 due to a member of tour co-headliner Earth, Wind & Fire\u2019s<\/a> band needing medical treatment.<\/p>\n
