Lionel Richie 'feared' knee injury would end his career

Singer-songwriter Lionel Richie revealed he feared that his recent knee injury would put a full stop to his career.

The 67-year-old singer opened up about recovering from a torn meniscus and resuming his All the Hits tour with Mariah Carey, reported Entertainment Tonight.

"In the old days if you got a little pain, you work it out. Well, the more I started doing shows, what I had was a torn meniscus and the guys said what you do with that is you have to stop, and I didn't know how to stop.

"I am programmed to run and so stopping meant I had to announce to pull the tour and I don't cancel tours. I don't cancel shows."
 

In February, Richie postponed the tour and underwent laparoscopic knee surgery.

The 22-city tour will now resume on June 22. Also, fans are waiting to see Richie share the stage with is Singer Adele, but this could take a while.
