The performance was ultimately cut short when Richie was unable to continue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The incident occurred during the opening night of Richie\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sing A Song All Night Long<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> tour with Earth, Wind &amp; Fire. Following the Minnesota performance, two subsequent concerts were postponed under doctors\u2019 advice that Richie rest and return to full health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here is a video of Lionel Richie the product during his concert(s) &#8211; a video and photo:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lionel Richie uses Boost Oxygen onstage!\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pp8olgq5ihg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since then, Richie discovered Boost Oxygen and was seen using the portable oxygen brand onstage as he continued performing for audiences across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For an entertainer whose shows require singing, dancing and commanding the stage night after night, maintaining a demanding touring schedule can be physically taxing. Boost Oxygen provides supplemental oxygen in a lightweight, portable and easy-to-use canister designed for recreational use when supplemental oxygen may be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited to see an iconic performer like Lionel Richie using Boost Oxygen onstage,\u201d said Rob Neuner, Founder of Boost Oxygen. \u201cLionel has been entertaining audiences at the highest level for decades, and seeing Boost Oxygen become part of his performance routine is an incredible moment for our brand.

Concerts can involve extended periods under bright stage lighting combined with continuous movement, singing and dancing, often across multiple cities in a short period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boost Oxygen canisters contain pure supplemental oxygen, with no chemical propellants or additives. The non-prescription canisters are lightweight, portable and designed to be used on demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Richie remains one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world, with a career spanning more than five decades.
