Overview
- Richie checked himself into a St. Louis hospital after his Saturday night concert on Aug. 29 and was observed in an intensive care unit while doctors ran tests.
- Initial reports said physicians were evaluating possible mild dehydration and later added that cardiac-related testing was under way, according to multiple outlets citing TMZ.
- On Sept. 2 several outlets, citing People and Extra, reported Richie had been discharged and was back home in Los Angeles and described as doing well.
- This is the second onstage health scare of the tour after a June 24 episode in St. Paul that forced postponement of two shows while doctors advised rest.
- No broad official medical statement or new tour cancellations had been released at the time of reporting so fans should watch for updates from Richie’s representatives and Live Nation about upcoming dates.
