Fox News
Lionel Richie apologized to his fans during a rescheduled concert in New York City on Monday, which was previously canceled due to inclement weather. He joked that he tried to "bribe" the pilot.
"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 … I tried to bribe the pilot," Richie told his New York City crowd in a fan-recorded video during the rescheduled date on Monday.

"And the pilot said, ‘I do want to see my wife tomorrow.’ So tonight we are going to make up for that. I apologize for that a thousand times," he told his lively crowd.
