International superstar Lionel Richie boasts a discography of albums and singles that is second to none. With more than 125 million albums sold worldwide, an Oscar®, Golden Globe®, and four Grammy Awards®*, Richie has been honoured with distinctions including 2016 MusicCares Person of the Year, and the 2017 Kennedy Center Honors. In March 2018, Richie cemented his iconic legacy as he imprinted his hand and footprints at Hollywood’s storied TCL Chinese Theatre. In 2022, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, received the 2022 American Music Awards Icon Award and also received the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by the Library of Congress.  In September 2023, Richie concluded the first run of his acclaimed sold out 20-city “Sing a Song All Night Long” arena tour featuring special guests—one of the best-selling bands of all time—Earth, Wind & Fire. The tour continued in 2024 with 13 more dates across the US. Also in 2024, Richie continues his longtime residency, now at the Wynn Encore Theater, in “Lionel Richie: King of Hearts.” Richie has served as a judge on ABC’s “American Idol,” for the past seven seasons, and has recently been renewed for its 8th season.
