Lola Young has reassured fans that she is “doing OK now” after collapsing on stage during a performance in New York on Saturday.
The 24-year-old singer was performing at the All Things Go Festival when she appeared to drop her microphone and fall backwards, prompting immediate concern.
The incident sparked worry among attendees and fellow performers at the event, with many expressing their support.
In a statement released on social media, Young addressed her fans and expressed gratitude for the outpouring of supportive messages she received.
“Hi, for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing OK now,” she wrote on Instagram, offering a concise update on her condition.
“Thank you for all of your support, Lola.”
Videos circulating on social media platforms show Young appearing uncomfortable while performing “Conceited” from her second album, “This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway,” prior to the incident.
Earlier in her set, Young reportedly told the crowd that she had experienced a “tricky couple of days” due to a “sensitive matter,” alluding to potential personal challenges.
She added, “sometimes life throws you lemons,” but encouraged attendees to “make lemonade,” suggesting resilience in the face of adversity.
Prior to the festival performance, the South London singer had cancelled a scheduled appearance at New Jersey’s Prudential Centre on Friday.
Following Young’s performance, rapper Doechii took to the stage and rallied the crowd to chant “we love you Lola” as a gesture of support.
Doechii praised Young as “an incredibly talented artist” and acknowledged that she wasn’t feeling well before her performance.
Lola Young is an alumna of the Brit School for Performing Arts and Technology, a renowned institution that counts Adele, Jessie J, and Raye among its notable musical graduates.
She garnered widespread recognition following the release of her 2024 hit song “Messy,” which achieved number one status in the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Croatia, Ireland, and Israel.
The song also resonated strongly with Gen Z and gained traction on TikTok, further elevating the singer’s international profile.
Young became the youngest current British artist to achieve a number one single since Dave in 2022, and the youngest British woman to top the charts since Dua Lipa in 2017.
Young recently attended London Fashion Week, where she performed at the H&M show at 180 Strand.
As of now, no further performances have been cancelled in the wake of Saturday’s incident.
