Lionel Richie has been hospitalised after falling ill and feeling "dizzy" at a show in Missouri.
The legendary Commodores singer checked himself into the St. Louis facility following his performance at The Muny in Forest Park.
Mr Richie remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital as of Monday afternoon and is expected to be released on Tuesday, reports TMZ.
Sources said that the singer went to the hospital out of caution.
Eyewitnesses at the concert told the US outlet the 77-year-old appeared to be struggling a bit toward the end of the show.
Others suggested the singer asked his team to bring him a chair while performing his final song, the 1983 hit "All Night Long".
Sources told TMZ Mr Richie is being cautious and doctors are looking into possible slight dehydration.
Mr Richie's representatives have not yet commented on tonight's reports.
Mr Richie suffered a health scare during his St. Paul concert in June, when he had to sit down on stage multiple times while performing.
The legendary soul singer was at the start of his joint Sing A Song All Night Long tour with Earth, Wind & Fire when he announced an unusual intermission after a performance of Three Times A Lady from his piano.
His backing band reportedly also left the stage minutes later, but more than 40 minutes after he cut off the show, one returned to announce he wouldn't be able to return because he was feeling ill.
Saxophonist Dino Soldo told the crowd "Unfortunately, Lionel is not feeling well. He won’t be able to continue. Additional information will be available."
