Lionel Richie resumed his tour after stopping his June 24 show and postponing two following dates due to dizziness.

The music icon, 77, returned to the stage on Tuesday (June 30) in Pittsburgh.

"I had you worried there for a minute, huh?" the "Easy" crooner joked to the crowd, per TribLive. "You have no idea what I have been through in the last 24 hours, listening to my friends tell me their advice on what I should be doing."

Per footage from the show, Richie appeared to be in good spirits and healthy while performing "Stuck on You." Watch it here.

The singer was an hour into his set on June 24 during the opening night of his tour in St. Paul, Minnesota, when he sat down on a raised platform while performing his 1986 hit "Dancing on the Ceiling."

"When you're feeling dizzy, sit your a-- down," he joked to the crowd.

After sitting at a piano for "Three Times a Lady," he stepped away for an unscheduled intermission. Shortly after, Dino Soldo, his saxophonist, returned to the stage to explain that Richie was not feeling well and would not continue the show.

TMZ later reported that Richie was brought to the hospital as a precaution.
