“Should I do it?'”, said Richie.

The singer will perform 20 shows under the banner Lionel Richie – All the Hits through April and May, and September and October next year.

Lionel Richie performed a crowd-pleasing set as part of Life is Beautiful’s second day during the 2014 edition. The singer will be performing at the AXIS at Planet Hollywood starting next spring.

Tickets for the Lionel Richie’s Vegas shows will go on sale at Ticketmaster Friday.

“I finally asked my specialist in Vegas, my 21-year-old son, what do you think?” “If I could show you pictures of my fans, here’s my Afro, my mustache, my green sweater”. “This is a time when you’re going to laugh your way through half of it, and cry halfway through it because the songs mean that much to you”. “WE are going to have the greatest time, ‘” the singer said in an interview on Wednesday, according to Page Six.

Richie also hopes to entertain his audience in Vegas with elaborate stage designs, and said he will rope in “every imaginable thing” in his Vegas show, he said on NBC television’s “Today” show. “I can’t wait to share “All the Hits, All Night Long” with all of my fans – it’s a high energy show that is a flawless match for such a vibrant city!” Performers at the February 13 gala include Pharrell Williams, Luke Bryan and Lady Antebellum.

“You could have smacked me over the head when I heard about MusiCares”, says Richie. All the ideas I want to put on the stage, any hydraulics, anything you want to do it’s there. “When you start thinking about Dylan and Streisand and stuff… that’s quite an accomplishment”.
