Lionel Richie Adds Dates to Las Vegas Residency: Here’s How to Snag Tickets Before They Sell Out
Lionel Richie returns to the Wynn
After a sold-out April engagement, the Grammy-winning legend has extended his hit residency, “Lionel Richie: King of Hearts” with a new string of dates at the Encore Theater at the Wynn Las Vegas, where he’ll bring his soulful voice to iconic hits like “Hello,” “All Night Long” and “Dancing on the Ceiling.” The nine-show run kicks off April 9 with new shows added for October 15, 17, 18, 22, 24, and 25. Directed by Bao Nguyen, “The Greatest Night in Pop” goes back to Jan. 25, 1985, when 46 music icons — led by Richie, Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones — came together for a marathon eight-hour recording session of “We Are the World,” which is one of the 16 songs on his residency set list. The monumental collaboration was documented for the recording of the music video, but the new documentary includes massive amounts of new material, including retrospective interviews with Richie, Cyndi Lauper, Huey Lewis, Kenny Loggins, Sheila E., Smokey Robinson, Bruce Springsteen and Dionne Warwick, as well as never-before-heard recordings of Richie and Jackson writing the iconic song.
