Lionel Richie cancelled his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden after it had already begun.

Fans of Lionel Richie were left disappointed when the legendary singer and songwriter canceled his sold-out concert on Saturday, August 12 at Madison Square Garden. Even worse, the show had already begun and was running an hour behind before its official cancellation.

Richie announced that he was unable to attend the show due to severe weather conditions, and posted on twitter:

"Due to severe weather and being unable to land in the NY and surrounding areas, I’m unable to make it to the show tonight. I’m so bummed. We are rescheduling the show to Monday, Aug 14. Can’t wait to perform for you all. Tickets for tonight’s show are valid for the show on Monday."

Though the show had already been rescheduled, many of Richie’s fans found his late cancellation to be inconsiderate and unprofessional. Some took to twitter to express their disappointment:

"Thank you so much for announcing this an hour after the show was supposed to start," one user responded. Another user shared, "We bought our parents good seats for a lot of money for their 50th wedding anniversary. They’re 75 and were really looking forward to tonight’s show. Thanks for ruining the gift we got for them."

In addition to Lionel Richie, Earth, Wind and Fire were also slated to perform on Saturday evening, though it is unclear if they will be able to make the rescheduled New York City date. Richie has yet to comment on what he will do for fans who are unable to attend the makeup performance.
