Balladeer Lionel Richie has announced his first performance in Israel in September.
The soulful singer is known for his string of 1980s pop hits, including “Hello,” “Endless Love,” “All Night Long” and “You Say Me.”
The former Commodores singer, who is turning 70, will be on a world tour comprising 30 shows in the US, Canada and the UK.
Richie’s trip to Israel was put together by producer Marcel Abraham, who has brought Justin Bieber, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen to Tel Aviv, and is also working on Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming performance at Yarkon Park in August.
Over the course of his solo musical career, Richie has sold over 90 million records and won four Grammy Awards.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
