Lola Young has spoken out following a frightening moment during her set at the All Things Go Music Festival in New York City on Saturday, September 27.

The 24-year-old British singer collapsed mid-performance while singing her track Conceited at Forest Hills Stadium. Video from the event shows Young falling to the stage before being carried off by medical staff, as audience members offered their support.

Hours later, Young shared an update with fans on Instagram Stories, 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 xxx.”

Neither the artist nor her representatives have disclosed further details about what led to the collapse. The incident came just a day after Young canceled her scheduled performance at Audacy’s We Can Survive concert in Brooklyn, which her manager explained was due to “a sensitive matter.”

Young has long been candid about her struggles, including a schizoaffective disorder diagnosis at age 17 and a past battle with substance addiction. Just earlier this month, she told The Guardian that her journey has been one of resilience and ongoing self-discovery.

Best known for her breakout 2024 hit Messy, Young has released three albums to date, most recently I’m Only F------ Myself, which arrived on September 19.
