About

All night long…

Lionel Richie (born 1949 in Tuskegee, Alabama) first came into prominence in the '70s as a member of the hugely successful funk and soul band The Commodores. Richie’s star shone increasingly brighter as the band moved away from their funky origins and towards soulful ballads such as Easy, Three Times A Lady and Still.

In the wake of the enormous success of his Oscar-winning 1981 duet with Diana Ross, Endless Love, Richie left the band and struck out on his own as a solo performer. His 1982 self-titled debut album was an immediate smash hit, selling over four million copies and peaking at No.3 in the US album charts.

However, even that paled in comparison to his follow-up, Can’t Slow Down. Released in 1983, it went on to sell over 10 million copies and win the 1984 Grammy for Album of the year, helped along by the timeless hit singles Hello and All Night Long (All Night). Richie rounded off an incredible year by performing at the closing ceremony for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

If 1984 saw Richie become a global superstar, 1985 was the year he cemented that position. He co-wrote the charity single We Are The World with Michael Jackson and scored another No.1 single with Say You, Say Me. He was back at the top of the charts again the following year with another smash hit Dancing On The Ceiling, taken from the album of the same name.

Richie backed away from the limelight for five years after Dancing On The Ceiling to look after his gravely ill father. He didn’t release any new music until the compilation album Back To Front in 1992, which added three new songs to a collection of Richie’s hits both as a solo artist and with The Commodores. One of the new songs, Do It To Me, topped the US R&B charts, marking Richie’s first hit in five years.

Richie returned after a four-year absence with his fourth solo album Louder Than Words in 1996 and rounded out the 20th century with his fifth Time in 1998.

The ’00s saw Richie flying high once more with Renaissance, which went platinum in the UK and started a run of five albums that all landed in the UK Top 20. In 2012, Richie had his first US No.1 album since Dancing On The Ceiling with Tuskegee, a reinterpreted collection of his hits recorded alongside a host of guest stars including Willie Nelson, Shania Twain and Darius Rucker.

Following a coveted Sunday afternoon set at Glastonbury in 2015, Richie decamped to Vegas for a residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's Zappos Theater. He became a judge on American Idol in 2017 and released a live album, Hello From Vegas, in 2019.

In 2022, Richie was both inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and received the 2022 American Music Awards Icon Award, his 18th AMA award. He also received the 2022 Gershwin Prize for Popular Song by the Library of Congress. He also debuted and served as producer on the documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim. The film quickly became a cultural phenomenon as the most watched music documentary of 2024 with a staggering 1.3 billion minutes viewed.

  • Shame about support act

    by Ray on 09/06/2025Utilita Arena Sheffield - SheffieldRating: 5 out of 5

    Went to see a great showman, saw one and was fantastic as always, great night. Support act was excellent, but I was very disappointed that the screens weren't on when she was singing, hence I had no idea what she looked like or how she performed. She showed up as only a spot 100 yds away from me. Do something about it? she and the audience deserve better. What a shame to a great evening!

    by Linda on 09/06/2025Utilita Arena Sheffield - SheffieldRating: 5 out of 5

    Absolutely amazing. Lionel definitely gave us value for money. He was on for nearly 2 hrs. The music , songs , lighting and musicians were brilliant

  • Great performance, but…

    by Richard on 09/06/2025Utilita Arena Sheffield - SheffieldRating: 5 out of 5

    Why do certain audience members insist on spoiling everyone else's enjoyment of a live performance by holding their mobile phone in the air recording the act rather than watching and participating in the night's entertainment. Last night two very big audience members stood and prevented others from getting a good view of a masterful show by Lionel Richie. They had absolutely no thought for others whilst the were recording everything on their mobile phones. If that is what they want why don't they just buy the DVD and let others enjoy live music on their mobile phones way it should be enjoyed.

  • Legendary

    by Saz on 09/06/2025Utilita Arena Sheffield - SheffieldRating: 5 out of 5

    What an amazing show... seeing such a true legend on stage. It was like a party vibe from start to finish. All the classics. The lighting and musicians were all amazing and Lionel was on top form. Well worth catching his tour.

  • Absolute Showman!

    by Shaz6160 on 08/06/2025The O2 - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    On stage for a full 2 hours and he's 75! Continually interacting with the audience and sang all his wonderful hits.

  • Awesome show, shame about everything else

    by Carl on 07/06/2025The O2 - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    The show itself was awesome, Lionel Richie is the absolute showman, it was rocking. Shame about the venue, we paid for Hello VIP package at the O2 and although our seat location was fantastic, everything else fell far short. The seats were so small and uncomfortable and the VIP gift bag was embarrassing, a tea strainer and 4 badges, really?, a programme would have been nice. That aside, the show itself was the best I have ever seen, I highly recommend going to see it.

  • Literally dancing on the ceiling, all night long!

    by Buzzy on 07/06/2025The O2 - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    The only problem we had was that we were unable to download the O2 app to get our tickets so we had to go to the box office. The venue was a great experience as we'd never been to the O2 before. Lionel Richie was fantastic, a wonderful showman who had us on our feet for 2 hours!

  • Lionel Richie

    by Musicman on 07/06/2025The O2 - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    Brilliant show by the ultimate showman. The atmosphere was electric. All the hits were performed. The staff were very helpful and polite. Overall a great experience.
