The public has regularly accused Lionel Richie of having plastic surgery over the years of his career. Since the singer has not noticeably aged over the years, it has resulted in a lot of speculation if Richie has ever had plastic surgery. The conversation sparked attention over the weekend after he performed at a concert for the coronation of King Charles this past weekend. However, Richie is here to shut down these rumors.
Richie, 73, recently chatted with the Daily Mail to talk about why he has avoided plastic surgery in his lifetime and why you will never catch him under the knife.
'[Plastic surgery] locks you in for that year [while you recover] - and after that, you can't go naturally, you're staying right there... You try and go back to reset, and you can't,” he told the Daily Mail.
