Lionel Richie is thanking fans for their messages of support following the recent onstage health scare that caused him to leave a show in St. Paul, Minnesota, early, and cancel two subsequent concerts.

“Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love,” Lionel wrote on Instagram. “I’m doing well, and I’m grateful for all of you.”

Richie fell ill onstage during the opening night of the Sing A Song All Night Long tour with Earth, Wind & Fire in St. Paul. He left the stage after telling the audience he was feeling dizzy, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune

Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire subsequently postponed shows in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, returning to the stage on June 30 in Pittsburgh.

The tour hits Boston on Wednesday. A complete list of dates can be found at LionelRichie.com.
