June 25 (UPI) -- Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lionel Richie cut his show short Wednesday after falling ill on stage.

Richie, 77, said he felt dizzy and sat down before announcing he would be taking a break during a stop on his Sing a Song All Night Long Tour featuring Earth, Wind & Fire in St. Paul, Minn.

Saxophonist Dino Soldo later told the crowd Richie didn't feel well and would not be returning.
