Lionel previously told how he cannot get enough of touring the globe. He said: "I love life on the road. It is very difficult to tell people to get away from me when they start a conversation saying, ‘I love you’.
"I found that I am now a citizen of the world, so when I get to Sheffield or Birmingham or Manchester, people say to me, ‘Welcome home Lionel, I love you’. "We are talking 40 or 50 years later. I don’t take it for granted for one moment.
"I still get the same buzz walking out on stage, if not better. "When you first start out, you are kind of like, ‘Yeah, I got a hit record, this is going to be for ever’ — and then, as time goes on, you see where artists’ records don’t perform well and they don’t last long. "Then here we are, 40 years later.
It’s the same enthusiasm as when I had the record the first time. I lucked out in life. My hobby, the thing I did to chill out, is what I do for a living.
I go out on stage and perform — that is everything to me." Beginning in 1968, Lionel was a member of the funk and soul band the Commodores before launching a solo career in 1982.
