Lionel Richie gives rare update on King Charles
Lionel Richie has shared an update about King Charles’ health during a gala event in his honour.
The All Night Long singer, who is friends with the monarch and even performed at his Coronation Concert last year, shared the update on Thursday night during the inaugural King’s Trust Global Gala in New York.
“Happily I can say, he is doing fantastic,” Richie, a Global Ambassador of the Trust, told People magazine.
“Again, I understand, he needs to sit still, you know what I’m saying. The most important part is he is doing well. He’s back to his duties and so therefore, I wouldn’t want the first thing for him to do is come over — let’s not prove anything here.”
He also shared that he was expecting a phone call from his friend at the conclusion of the event.
“Believe me, my question [from him] now is, ‘How was it?’ After I finish tonight, I’m gonna get that call saying, ‘Well, how was it?’” he revealed.
King Charles recently returned to his public duties for the first time with a visit to a cancer treatment centre in London, where he opened up about his own experience to other patients.
There, he also spoke for the first time about the moment he found out he had cancer, telling one patient: “It’s always a bit of a shock, isn’t it, when they tell you?”
