Lionel Richie thanked his fans for their support after suffering a health scare on stage which forced him to cancel a string of shows.

Richie, 77, smiled widely and danced on stage in a carousel of concert images posted on Instagram over the weekend.

“Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love,” he wrote online. “I’m doing well, and I’m grateful for all of you.

Richie added, “See you in Toronto… let’s party all night long!”

The “American Idol” judge was nearly an hour into his concert at the Grand Casino Arena when fans noticed a change in Richie.

While performing his upbeat classic “Dancing on the Ceiling,” Richie paused and took a seat on a platform before later revealing to the crowd that he was feeling lightheaded, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.

“When you’re feeling dizzy, sit your a– down,” he joked.
