Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind and Fire concert axed minutes before showtime due to medical emergencyEarth, Wind & Fire cancelled a show at San Francisco’s Chase Center just minutes before showtime due to one of the band members suffering a medical “emergency”. On August 6th, the iconic funk group was set to play a joint show with Lionel Richie, who himself was forced to postpone two of their collaborative concerts at the end of June following medical advice after an on-stage health scare. This time it was Earth, Wind & Fire’s turn to suffer an unfortunate health scare. “We are unable to perform as scheduled tonight at Chase Center in San Francisco due to a medical emergency involving a member of our band,” a statement shared on the Earth, Wind & Fire Instagram page announced. The official announcement continued, “As a result, tonight’s show with Lionel Richie will be rescheduled, with a new date to be announced soon.”
