The wedding singer: Lionel Richie romances a new crowd

The stipulation from Lionel Richie's record label, keen to secure an interview that focused on his latest album, was as specific as it was bizarre: don't mention The Commodores.

Putting aside the fact that it would be nigh-on impossible to get through an encounter with one of pop's greatest balladeers without making some reference to the soulful sextet with whom he launched his career 40 years ago, it seems that nobody bothered to mention this ludicrous guideline to Lionel himself.

Within minutes of walking into his London hotel, Richie is reeling off anecdotes about his early days in Tuskegee, Alabama - as one of The Commodores.

'Those guys will always be my family,' he sighs. 'That's where it all started for me. We flew around the world having a great time, and we happened to make some music along the way.

Lionel Richie banned to perform for the Hamptons

Lionel Richie has been prohibited from playing in New York's Hamptons after locals objected about the noise.
Party promoter Scott Feldman intended to charge guests $1,250 each to watch Richie sing in the backyard of his rented home in the Long Island town of Sag Harbor on Friday night, reports the New York Post's gossip column Page Six.
But the newspaper claims requests for a permit were refused after wealthy residents of the town - where legendary piano man also has a home - stepped in.
