Lola Young cancels show after onstage collapse: Here's what she told fans
Lola Young is taking time to recover after collapsing during a performance at a New York City music festival.
On Saturday, while performing "Conceited" from her second album "This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway" at the All Things Go Festival, 24-year-old British singer Lola Young appeared in fan-shot videos to look visibly uncomfortable before dropping her microphone and collapsing backward.
Later that day, Young reassured fans in an Instagram story update, writing. "Hi, for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing OK now."
"Thank you for all of your support, Lola," she added.
In a follow-up post, she announced that she would cancel her scheduled performance at the festival's Washington, D.C., stop on Sunday.
"I'm sorry to confirm that I won't be playing all things go in DC today," she wrote. "I love this job and I never take my commitments and audience for granted so I'm sorry to those who will be disappointed by this. I hope you'll all give me another chance in the future."
She continued, "Thank you to all those who listen and care. To all the people that love to be mean online, pls give me a day off."
ABC News has reached out to Young's representatives, but did not immediately hear back.
Her onstage incident came one day after she canceled a planned performance at Audacy's We Can Survive concert at New Jersey's Prudential Center on Friday.
A former student at the Brit School for Performing Arts and Technology, Young first rose to prominence with her 2024 viral hit "Messy," which reached No. 1 in the UK, Australia, Belgium, Croatia and Ireland and gained massive traction on TikTok, boosting her international profile.
She was nominated for the Brit Award for Rising Star in 2021 and Best Pop Act in 2025, and won the Ivor Novello Award for Rising Star that same year.
