Lionel Richie – the versatile superstar-singer-songwriter who’s even made a country album (2012’s Tuskegee) and has his own fragrance, Hello – came to Seattle for a performance at our largest venue, Climate Pledge Arena on September 11, 2023. Openers Earth, Wind & Fire came along as part of the Sing A Song All Night Long tour, where Richie sang “Say You Say Me,” and “Running With the Night” (among others) and EW&F featured “Boogie Wonderland” and “Shining Star” (of course, among others). If you find yourself in Vegas towards summer-winter of 2024, Richie ‘s gearing up for a residency at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas! Or make a special trip if you can. It will be stunning.
