Lionel Richie has arrived in Dubai.
The legendary 80s crooner touched down in the UAE yesterday to rest up before his performance at the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre on Thursday night.
The 64-year-old will be belting out four decades worth of hits covering pop, funk and R&B. Vintage fans who disliked Richie’s progression to the slick sound of his 1980s hits shouldn’t fret — a healthy smattering of Commodores songs are part of the set-list including Brick House, Fancy Dancer and Three Times a Lady.
Doors open at 7pm with Richie expected to take the stage at 9pm.
Tickets begin from Dh350 from www.timeouttickets.com

Juvenile arthritis
Along with doctors, families and teachers can help pick up cases of arthritis in children.
Most types of childhood arthritis are known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis. JIA causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints for at least six weeks.
Dr Betina Rogalski said "The younger the child the more difficult it into pick up the symptoms. If the child is small, it may just be a bit grumpy or pull its leg a way or not feel like walking,” she said.
According to The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases in US, the most common symptoms of juvenile arthritis are joint swelling, pain, and stiffness that doesn’t go away. Usually it affects the knees, hands, and feet, and it’s worse in the morning or after a nap.
Limping in the morning because of a stiff knee, excessive clumsiness, having a high fever and skin rash are other symptoms. Children may also have swelling in lymph nodes in the neck and other parts of the body.
Arthritis in children can cause eye inflammation and growth problems and can cause bones and joints to grow unevenly.
In the UK, about 15,000 children and young people are affected by arthritis.

The Al Burda Festival is a celebration of Islamic art and culture, featuring talks, performances and exhibitions. Organised by the Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development, this one-day event opens with a session on the future of Islamic art. With this in mind, it is followed by a number of workshops and “masterclass” sessions in everything from calligraphy and typography to geometry and the origins of Islamic design.
