A few days ago, a video of the singer performing at the Grand Casino Arena in São Paulo went viral. At first, Richie felt a little dizzy during the performance and sat on the stairs while performing. He also told the crowd the same thing, saying, “Something I’ve learned over the years in the business is: When you feel dizzy, sit down. When you feel weird about yourself, sit down!”He then joked about the situation: “Now, I want you to know that this is the first time in the history of ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’ that I’ve sat down to finish it. That’s a bad sign, y’all.” He then took an early intermission before saxophonist Dino Sordo took to the stage to announce that Richie would not be able to return to the stage due to health issues.Subsequently, the agency stated on its website that in order to take care of the singer’s health, the upcoming tour dates will be postponed.
