Lionel Richie is heading back to the UK, where he has seven Top 10 albums to his name.
"I can't wait to get back to the UK," he said in a statement. "The audiences are always so great and I always have an incredible time when I'm in the United Kingdom."
Richie will be performing a "Greatest Hits" show that will surely feature classics such as "Endless Love," "All Night Long (All Night)" and "Hello."
"The show feels like a great big sing-along most nights so I'm looking forward to singing along with the people of the UK again!" the statement read.
The Manchester Evening News notes that Richie's lengthy career includes more than 100 million album sales worldwide and a list of awards that includes Grammys, American Music Awards, a Golden Globe and an Oscar.

The singer received the Lifetime Achievement Award at this June's BET Awards — but the trophy spelled his name incorrectly.
Instead of getting peeved, Richie laughed it off.
"The funny thing about this award tonight is exactly 35, 40 years ago when I started writing these crazy songs, I must tell you the words tonight, these are all the songs they told me would ruin my career: 'Sail On', you're out of your mind. 'All Night Long', what the heck are you doing?"
