LOS ANGELES - On Saturday night, Lionel Richie was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year at the event's annual gala.

As is tradition, Richie walked the red carpet before going to his own party (but unlike some past honorees, such as Barbra Streisand in 2011 who ran through with husband James Brolin on her arm as if she were headed to her final manicure and Bob Dylan last year who was, well, Bob Dylan) Richie graciously worked the photo line.

Now you can see what it feels like to be on the other side of a pack of screaming photographers.
