Lionel Richie’s musical journey is as much about resilience as it is about chart-topping hits. Amid his fame, he faced life-altering health struggles, including a serious throat condition that nearly ended his singing career. On top of that, years of touring led to severe arthritis and multiple surgeries, including a hip replacement and knee injury, all of which challenged his ability to perform. Yet, through every setback, Richie found the strength to press on, driven by a renewed sense of purpose after the birth of his son. Today, his voice still resonates globally, not just as an iconic sound but as a testament to perseverance and survival.
