Lionel Richie hates attending friends' weddings - because the ceremony always becomes about him, no matter how much of a low-profile he keeps. The Hello singer urges people to uninvite him from their nuptials - because he knows from past experience that he always becomes the star of the big day.
He tells Spin magazine, "I keep telling my friends, 'You don't want me at the wedding, and you certainly don't want me at the reception.'
"They don't understand what I'm talking about until they get the photo album back. Here's what you see: The bride and groom at the altar. The bride and groom walking down the aisle and leaving the church. From then on, it's Lionel Richie with the bridesmaids. It's Lionel Richie with the groomsmen... You'd think that I got married. The poor groom is in nothing."
