Lionel Richie angered thousands of New York City fans on Saturday night when he didn’t make it to his concert at Madison Square Garden, cancelling the show more than an hour after it had been scheduled to start.
According to Deadline, promoters pulled the plug on the sold-out show, on which Richie shared the bill with Earth, Wind & Fire, disappointing the 19,000-plus fans in attendance who had been patiently awaiting his arrival.

As Deadline points out, Earth, Wind & Fire is scheduled to play a concert in Bridgeport, Connecticut on Monday — solo, without Richie — so it remains to be seen whether they’ll be able to make the rescheduled gig.

Asked what she’d tell the singer if she had the chance, the fan said, “Hope you’re OK but you should have taken a limo for your fans for four hours. He’s loaded … take a f**king limo.”
Another fan shared similar sentiments. “You can’t sell out Madison
