Lionel Richie invites you to join him as he shares his intimate, deep, and candid moments. In his memoir, TRULY, Lionel chronicles lessons learned during his unlikely story of remarkable success—his dramatic transformation from painfully shy, “tragically” late bloomer to world-class entertainer and composer of love songs that have played as the soundtrack of our lives.
In conversation with friends, Lionel will revisit hilarious and harrowing events to inspire all who doubt themselves or feel their dreams don’t matter, reminding us of the power of love to elevate our own lives and our world.
Tickets to these events include access to a moderated conversation between Lionel and a special guest as well as a copy of TRULY ($36.00 value provided by HarperOne).
Richie has continually defied conventional odds with an unstoppable, crossover, multi-genre mass appeal as timeless as it is timely. Richie’s vast catalog includes anthem hits from his years as a member of The Commodores including “Three Times a Lady,” “Still,” “Easy,” and “Sail On,” as well as from his enduring solo career that has yielded such classics as “Truly,” “Hello,” “Endless Love,” “All Night Long,” “Stuck on You,” “Say You, Say Me,” and “Dancing on the Ceiling,” to name a few. In addition, he co-wrote the record-breaking charity collaboration “We Are the World” with Michael Jackson—one of the bestselling singles of all time, which has raised millions for famine relief in Africa. Richie has the remarkable distinction of having written No. 1 songs every year for 11 consecutive years and is one of only two songwriters in pop history to claim solo credit (music and lyrics) for the most No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits.
In TRULY, Richie reflects with warmth and honesty on the personal struggles and triumphs that shaped his extraordinary rise, from battling self-doubt and the challenges of ADHD to becoming one of the most celebrated voices in music. This inspiring memoir reveals the pivotal experiences behind his success, offering hope and encouragement to anyone who’s ever felt overlooked or uncertain about their path.
