GLOBAL superstar Lionel Richie has announced a string of European tour dates for spring 2009, including his first UK shows since his sold out 2007 “Coming Home” tour.
Coming to the Echo Arena Liverpool on Tuesday, April 7, this is Richie’s first show at the new venue and his first show in Liverpool since he played the Summer Pops in 2001.
The tour will follow the release of Lionel Richie’s ninth studio album ‘Just Go’ which will be released early 2009.
Richie’s success story over nearly 30 years is the stuff of legend and one few artists can match: he's sold over 100 million albums; he's won countless awards including an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a staggering five Grammy Awards and the Crystal Award for Humanitarianism; he's written some of the best known and loved songs in pop history and continues to sell-out stadium and arena shows all over the world.
His 2009 tour will give fans a chance to experience first hand his new album and also his incredible back catalogue – from the classics of his solo career such as “Hello”, “Dancing on The Ceiling,” and “Endless Love” to the mega-hits of his Commodore days, like “Easy,” “Brickhouse” and “Three Times a Lady”.

Lionel Richie Biography
Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr was born on June 20, 1949 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Lionel Richie is an American R&B singer, songwriter, composer, and occasional actor who got his start as the front man for the Commodores, a nationally popular Motown band during the 70’s. They had several hits such as Easy, Three Times a Lady, and probably the Commodores’ most famous hit, Brick House.Richie left the band in ‘81 for a solo career. He launched his self-titled debut in 1982. The album hit No. 3 on the charts and sold over 4 million copies. His follow up album, Can’t Slow Down, sold over twice as many copies and won the Grammy for Album of the Year in ‘84. His third album, ‘86’s Dancing on the Ceiling generated such hits as Say You, Say Me, Dancing on the Ceiling, and Se La, but would be the end of his commercial success.
His 90’s albums such as Back to Front, Louder Than Words, and Time all are unsucceeded to achieve the previous decade’s commercial achievement. Some of his latest work, such as the album Renaissance, has returned to his older style, hoping to achieve more sensation.
