Lionel Richie Returns to Las Vegas Stage After Heart Procedure

Lionel Richie, 77, returned to his King of Hearts residency at the Wynn Las Vegas on Nov. 11, nearly two months after undergoing a procedure for atrial fibrillation. He told fans he was doing well and joked that the night would be a tribute to himself. Richie had been hospitalized in June and August after experiencing dizziness and difficulty during performances, including a St. Louis show that led to an ICU stay. His health issues prompted the postponement of three concerts with Earth, Wind & Fire; replacement dates have not been announced. His representative said the procedure went well and Richie took time off to recover.
