On June 26, Richie's ex-wife, Brenda Harvey-Richie, shared a health update on the singer, writing on X, “Thanking everyone for their concern! Lionel is OK and will be back on the stage. ❤️❤️”
On June 30, the "Hello" singer returned to the stage in Pittsburgh, resuming his tour with Earth, Wind & Fire.
"I had you worried there for a minute, huh?” Richie joked to the crowd, per TribLive. "You have no idea what I have been through in the last 24 hours, listening to my friends tell me their advice on what I should be doing."
Richie performed in concert in Toronto on Saturday, continuing his return to the stage.
In a video posted by the Scotiabank Arena on Instagram, Richie told the crowd onstage, “Toronto! Welcome back, everybody! I need to tell you all the strange things that happened to me last week, but I feel like I've come from the other side — back over here to say, tonight, it's going to be the greatest night we ever did it live.”
