On Wednesday, Saint Paul Fire Department PIO Jamie Smith confirmed to Page Six that they “did transport an adult male from the arena last night to a local hospital.”

However, the “All Night Long” singer’s current condition remains unclear.

Take it easy, Lionel.

> Take it easy, Lionel. <

That was my first thought as well. If I had his money, I wouldn’t be doing anything stressful. Or anything much at all.

I’d be sitting at the dock of my home by the lake. I’d have a line in the water. And I’d be listening to a mix my favorite songs.

But maybe with that attitude I wouldn’t be a millionaire in the first place.

🤔

He still performs and appears, by popular demand.
Lionel seems to be one of those uncommon entertainers that most everybody in the business likes.

A supposed “legend” but I’ve never heard of him. The only Lionel I know are my model trains.

Maybe he likes performing and that is why he does it.

At least he keeping active. My dads decline started when he stopped being active. He is still alive, but he is not like how he was years ago.
