Lionel Richie — surprise! — will open for Buffett at the Detroit Tigers’ home, promoters announced Tuesday. Richie’s “Tuskegee,” which features country versions of his biggest hits, topped Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart for two weeks last month and has sold more than 600,000 copies, making it the year’s best-selling country release.
