Lionel Richie, 77, checked himself into a St. Louis hospital after struggling to finish his concert Saturday at the Muny Amphitheater, Page Six reports. The singer remains hospitalized days later, with new details about his condition still emerging, per the outlet.

There is some comfort for fans: a source close to Richie's tour told The Hollywood Reporter the legend self-checked in after Saturday's show and "is doing okay."
