Lionel Richie is back on stage two months after he underwent a heart procedure.
The music icon, 77, addressed his recent health scares as he took the stage at The Wynn in Las Vegas, assuring fans in fan-captured footage that he’s doing well.
“I’m back,” Richie told the audience three times before joking, “I don’t know where I was, but I’m back.”

“I’m doing just fine,” he added. “Thank you all so much for caring about me.”
The Grammy winner even turned the show into a playful celebration of himself, telling the crowd, “This is gonna be a whole week of celebrating Lionel Richie.”
The Hello singer also joked about his changing approach to staying hydrated after becoming dizzy in the past (Richie experienced dizziness during the opening night of his Sing a Song All Night Long Tour in St. Paul, Minnesota, and he was forced to cut the concert short).
“For years I thought water was important. And then, one day, I got dizzy and I said bring me some water, and [the doctor] said, ‘You don’t need water, you need electrolytes,’” Richie shared.
Richie underwent a procedure in September to treat atrial fibrillation, commonly known as Afib.
