Richie asked for a chair on stage

This is not the first time the "Hello" singer has faced a health scare mid-tour. In June, Richie told audience members at a concert in St. Paul, Minnesota, that he was feeling dizzy and unwell before stepping off stage and receiving medical attention. Following that incident, he postponed two scheduled shows on doctors' orders before resuming the tour.
