“Thank you for every message, every kind word, and for all your love,” wrote Lionel. “I’m doing well, and I’m grateful for all of you.”

He further penned, “Pittsburgh and Detroit were an absolute joy. The energy, the dancing, the faces in the crowd… we made real memories together.”

The ‘Hello’ singer added, “See you in Toronto… let’s party all night long!”

Nearly one week ago, Lionel felt “dizzy” during his tour opener in Minnesota, which led to postponed concerts in Chicago and Columbus.

"He and Earth, Wind & Fire will return to the stage on Tuesday, June 30, in Pittsburgh, PA," the Live Nation Chicago announced on June 24.

"Lionel is heartbroken to postpone these two shows and cannot wait to be back performing for his fans. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes fans who have tickets for these two shows. Rescheduled dates will be announced soon," the post read.
