Lionel Richie, 77, has been hospitalized for the third time in recent months after experiencing heart-related issues during his ongoing concert tour. The singer is being treated for atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart beats irregularly and often too fast. According to a recent report, Richie is undergoing an AFib ablation, a procedure that involves using heat or cold to correct the heart's electrical signals. This treatment is considered minimally invasive and is commonly used to treat atrial fibrillation. Richie has had to cancel the next three concerts on his tour with the group Earth, Wind & Fire. The canceled shows were scheduled to take place in San Francisco, Chicago, and Columbus. These cancellations follow previous hospitalizations for the same heart condition in June and again in August. During those stays, Richie also received treatment for atrial fibrillation, though the specifics of those procedures were not detailed at the time. His representative confirmed that Richie underwent a common procedure for atrial fibrillation and that the doctor reported everything went smoothly. The representative added that Richie is currently in good health and is expected to make a full recovery. While he will need to take some time off from performing, he is anticipated to return to the stage soon. Richie has been a prominent figure in the music industry for decades, known for his smooth vocals and hits like "Hello" and "Say You, Say Me." His recent health challenges have drawn attention from fans and the media, but his team remains optimistic about his recovery and future performances.
