Lionel Richie hates attending friends' weddings because the ceremony always becomes about him.
According to Spin magazine, the singer said: "I keep telling my friends: 'You don't want me at the wedding, and you certainly don't want me at the reception.'"
The star argues that no matter how much of a low-profile he keeps he always becomes the star of the big day.
He added: "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...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."
