Lionel Richie: 'Chris Brown is going through a struggle, but he's so gifted'

'All Night Long' icon Lionel Richie has revealed that R&B sensation Chris Brown needs to enjoy his success while he has it because he's incredibly talented, but fears that his current struggle will cloud his understanding of that. 

Speaking to the Associated Press, Richie explained that Brown has a fantastic ability as a dancer and vocalist, and hopes that this turbulent time he's going through isn't getting him down:

"I think he's great. I just think that again, we go through our ups and downs and our struggles, but his talent, his talent is undeniable."

"It's just, I just want him to just land and make sure he enjoys the second half of his talent. Because he's too gifted. He'll be all right. He's just going through his changes."
