IT LOOKS as if music legend Lionel Richie's daughter Nicole is finally going to make it down the aisle.

He was happy to break the news to 3am on a stellar night at the Prince's Trust's 30th anniversary concert at Tower Hill in London on Saturday.

Chatting backstage to Kiki, he confirmed that wafer-thin Nicole is to tie the knot with Adam Goldstein, alias DJ AM.

"I told her: 'Honey, you do what you want and just send me the bill,'" the 56-year-old former Commodores star revealed before he went on stage for the show's finale.

"Of course I'm going to be there for her, and I'll be singing - there's no way I couldn't. I'm really happy that it's working out for her."

Nicole and Adam had been going out since 2003. She ended it in December, but three months later they were back together.

Now the wedding is on - but Lionel also hinted that he still worries about his adopted daughter.

"I really wanted to bring her with me for tonight's gig because it's such a special night, but she couldn't get away," he said. "She's in LA at the moment, but she really needs a vacation. She's a great girl and she's really been through a lot."

Simple Life star Nicole recently told Vanity Fair: "I know that I'm too thin. I have a problem and I want to fix it." A few weeks later Lionel, too, broke his silence on her ultra-skinny look.

"When I saw how thin she was, I was concerned and worried," he said. "I would love to see her with more meat on her."

Before singing a string of his hits on Saturday, he said of Princes William and Harry: "They're great boys. You can really see that. I do hope they get to misbehave sometimes - but they have good hearts."

We're sure they were Dancing on the Ceiling.
