The artist underwent surgery three months after he first canceled a concert because he felt “dizzy” and “weird.” A similar incident occurred again during the tour, when Lionel Richie also went to the hospital after a concert and was admitted to the intensive care unit.

The surgery went well, according to the artist's representatives.

Lionel is feeling great, but will take some time off and will be back on stage soon.

Lionel Richie is behind hit songs like "Hello" and "All Night Long".
