Lionel Richie hits back at fans who were ‘disappointed’ by the singer’s ‘awful’ performance at King Charles’ Coronation concert
Lionel Ritchie’s “awful” performance at King Charles’ coronation ceremony has drawn criticism from TV watchers who likened it to “karaoke in the pub.”
As concertgoers questioned what had happened to the 73-year-old’s voice, they accused the Motown star of “butchering” his own songs.
Millions of people saw the singer perform on stage with artists like Take That and Katie Perry.
20,000 people, including members of the Royal Family and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, attended the concert.
However, the singer’s “ropey” performance at the Windsor Castle event, when he sang his 1983 hit single “All Night Long” and the Commodores’ classic “Easy,” confused the audience.
Disappointed observers also made fun of the music legend’s singing, with one even drawing comparisons between Lionel Ritchie and Kermit the Frog.

The show’s viewers were more blunt, saying that Lionel Ritchie’s performance during the coronation show ‘wasn’t very good.
Fans of Lionel Ritchie also expressed their regret at having purchased concert tickets on the internet, saying they would no longer be seeing him perform live in the future.
After seeing the singer’s performance at the Windsor Castle show, one fan even claimed that he intended to revoke his concert tickets.
Lionel Ritchie was accused by viewers of destroying his own timeless tunes because they claimed he sounded like a “club singer.”
