Lionel Richie, the legendary American vocalist, has divulged his tips for maintaining a youthful look after receiving compliments on his appearance at the recent coronation ceremony of King Charles III.
The renowned singer shared the stage with Tiwa Savage and other renowned musicians at Windsor Castle to mark the auspicious occasion.
After his performance, a lot of Lionel Richie’s admirers remarked on how the pop and soul legend seemed to be as sprightly as ever. “How can Lionel Richie be 73 years old and still look so youthful?” one fan inquired.
Another surmised that the chart-topper’s appearance was due to having undergone multiple surgical procedures.
Despite this, the septuagenarian affirmed that he would never opt for cosmetic surgery, as it can be excruciatingly painful and carry the risk of complications. He further added that undergoing such procedures could result in him being unrecognizable to God.
“Plastic surgery keeps you confined during the recovery period, and after that, you can’t age naturally. You’re stuck looking that way. If you try to revert, you can’t reset,” he explained.
During a discussion about his most effective ways to stay youthful, Lionel Richie shared that his top anti-aging remedies include staying hydrated, exercising to the point of perspiration, and indulging in intimacy.
The veteran crooner, who has been romantically involved with model Lisa Parigi, 33, for more than a year, further stated that he limits his intake of red meat.
Unfortunately, there have been instances where musicians younger than Lionel Richie have succumbed to various health ailments. One such example is Earl Simmons, the American rapper popularly known as DMX, who passed away at the age of 50.
The rapper was admitted to the hospital after suffering from a drug-induced heart attack that resulted in a coma from which he never recovered.
