Lionel Richie<\/a> was riding the apology plane on Monday night during his concert at Madison Square Garden, expressing remorse to his audience for having previously canceled his Saturday night show at the last minute.<\/p>\n

An hour after the show was supposed to begin on Saturday, Richie took to social media to share he would not be able to make the concert, citing weather issues and angering fans.<\/p>\n

“I had two ‘no’s to come at the same time. And when those two decided it’s a no – when God says no and when the pilot says no, the answer \u2026 I tried to bribe the pilot,” Richie told his New York City crowd in a fan-recorded video<\/a> during the rescheduled date on Monday.<\/p>\n

LIONEL RICHIE ENRAGES FANS, CANCELS CONCERT 1 HOUR AFTER SHOWS START-TIME: ‘NO CHANCE ANYONE BELIEVES THIS’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“And the pilot said, \u2018I do want to see my wife tomorrow.\u2019 So tonight we are going to make up for that. I apologize for that a thousand times,” he told his lively crowd.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, many fans were enraged, voicing their skepticism that the “Hello” singer<\/a> could not make it.<\/p>\n

“Come on, the weather has been fine all day in NJ & NY. At least dignify us with the real reason you decided not to show,” one person wrote in part. “Unbelievable! Ever think of driving from Boston to New York??” another person suggested.<\/p>\n

Others were irritated by the timing of Richie’s announcement, suggesting it was too close to start time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You had us sit in the Garden<\/u><\/a> for an hour when you knew in advance you wouldn\u2019t make it. Refund the tickets\u2026 forget the double parking, car service and travel costs to attend on Monday and we will call it even,” one user said.<\/p>\n

Currently on a joint “Sing a Song All Night Long Tour” with Earth, Wind & Fire<\/a>, Richie is scheduled to play Tuesday night in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

In an interview released after the concert drama, Richie’s daughter Sofia<\/a> championed her father for the excellent example he has set for her as a famous figure within Hollywood.<\/p>\n

“I learned how to deal with people knowing who you are from my dad. He handles it with such grace. He embraces everyone who comes up to him. He\u2019s appreciative, he\u2019s thankful. He\u2019s taught me to never have that \u2018Oh god, not today\u2019 attitude,” she shared with Town & Country for their September issue.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s another level of megastar, and my whole life I\u2019ve watched him. I\u2019ve never seen him say no to a picture. I\u2019ve never seen him be rude to anyone who walks up to him on the street. That\u2019s been my role model.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
