The music icon had been performing at The Muny in Forest Park and according to fans who were in the crowd, he was struggling a bit towards the end of the show.<\/p>\n

At one point he asked his team to bring him a chair to perform his final song in the show,\u00a0All Night Long<\/em>, so he could sit down.<\/p>\n

TMZ is reporting that Richie is just being cautious and doctors are looking into possible dehydration.<\/p>\n

Richie\u2019s health has been a concern in recent months.<\/p>\n

In June he was forced to end a show in Minnesota early\u00a0after he felt dizzy while singing\u00a0Dancing on the Ceiling<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fan footage from the concert on June 26 showed the singer take multiple breaks to sit down during the song.<\/p>\n

He then told the crowd it was the first time he\u2019d ever performed the song like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re feeling dizzy, sit your arse down,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

Richie continued for one more song before leaving the stage for an unplanned intermission, which he never returned from.<\/p>\n

Almost an hour later, saxophonist Dino Soldo addressed the audience, and confirmed the show would be cancelled because Richie was \u201cnot feeling well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richie then\u00a0cancelled two concert shows\u00a0in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n

He returned to the stage a bit over a week later and also\u00a0gave fans a health update\u00a0on\u00a0Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love. \u2764\ufe0f I\u2019m doing well, and I\u2019m grateful for all of you,\u201d the caption reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cPittsburgh and Detroit were an absolute joy. The energy, the dancing, the faces in the crowd\u2026 we made real memories together.<\/p>\n
