Lionel Richie is back in the hospital after suffering another heart issue ... forcing him and Earth, Wind & Fire to cancel their next three shows, TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ .... Lionel is currently hospitalized and receiving treatment for atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat.
We're told doctors are treating Lionel with an AFib ablation, which is not considered a major procedure. The minimally invasive treatment creates tiny scars in the heart to block faulty electrical signals and help restore a normal rhythm.
