American singer Lionel Richie
returns to Italy this summer with two concerts at the Lucca
Summer festival July 12 and at the Caracalla Baths in Rome July

Richie's concerts are renowned worldwide for their party
atmosphere. The public can join him singing favourites such as
'Hello', 'Easy', 'Dancing on the Ceiling', 'Say You Say Me',
'Three Times a Lady' and 'All Night Long" as well as other from
his repertory developed over decades with the Commodores.
In Lucca Richie will be joined by Earth Wind and Fire
bringing their distinctive soul, funk, disco music and a long
series of hits including 'September', 'Fantasy', 'After The Love
Has Gone', 'Let's Groove' and 'Boogie Wonderland'.
"I always had a fantastic time in Italy and can't wait to
go back," Richie said, "it is so thrilling to be in some of my
favourite places in the country again and I am looking forward
to this splendid summer".
Throughout his career Richie sold more than 100 million
albums around the world and received prestigious prizes
including Grammys, American Music Awards, a Golden Globe and an
Oscar.
