1. Lionel Richie was rushed to a hospital after falling ill onstage Wednesday night in the middle of his concert ... TMZ has learned. Richie cut his performance short at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota after saying he felt "dizzy" and "strange" ... so much so, he actually took a seat on one of the stage platforms while singing "Dancing on the Ceiling." It's a high-energy moment in Lionel's setlist, and not one he'd normally sit through. Sources connected to Richie tell us paramedics met him backstage, and he was taken by ambulance to a hospital ... but we're also told it was a precautionary measure. We're still trying to find out his current condition. During the concert, Richie was about as high-spirited as he could be under the conditions ... he joked with the audience that the best thing someone in this situation could do is to "sit your ass down." After Lionel exited the stage, his saxophonist, Dino Soldo, informed the audience Lionel wasn't feeling well and would be unable to continue the show.

  1. TMZ Staff • June 20, 2026 3:50 PM PDT Rod Stewart had a rough show in Utah last night ... doubling over in discomfort during the set -- and needing puffs from an oxygen tank onstage. The singer-songwriter hit the stage at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City, UT last night ... and he wasn't moving around the stage as much as usual. Check out the video, obtained by TMZ... Stewart's supporting himself on musical instruments, barriers and even a pole at the side of the stage. He's still tapping his foot, trying to stay with the rhythm ... but clearly there's something wrong -- and several backstage attendants eventually render aid. One rolls out an oxygen tank, and Stewart takes some big inhales ... steadying himself as the show goes on.

  2. Stewart makes the crowd laugh while also informing them he dang near fainted ... a testament to his good nature -- even in a scary moment. He finished his show sitting in a chair, just needing to get off his feet. While we don't know the exact reason for Stewart's unsteadiness, West Valley City is about 4,300 feet above sea level ... and the altitude definitely could've hit him harder than he expected. He also recently canceled a show in San Diego, citing laryngitis, though he felt well enough to hit a World Cup match.
