Lola Young, 24, collapsing on stage during a recent performance in New York, and the singer has since apologized.
Lola Young announced earlier today that she has cancelled her upcoming appearances and will be “going away for a while” after she collapsed on stage during a gig in New York.
The singer-songwriter, 24, shared in an Instagram post to update fans, saying: “I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future.
“Thank you very much for your love and support.” I’m so sorry to let anyone who purchased a ticket to see me go. It hurts me even more.
You will obviously be able to get a full refund. Once I’ve worked on myself and come back stronger, I’m really hoping you’ll give me another chance. Lola x, love you all.

She fell to the floor on Saturday while performing at the Forest Hills Stadium’s All Things Go Music Festival. The frightful incident caused the medical staff to rush in. At the time, she was singing Conceited, her hit.
Before falling asleep, she had stated to the audience, “I wanted to say that I had some challenging days. Sometimes you really feel as though you can’t continue living.
The young singer and her team have previously spoken about her struggles, which is not the first time the star has come out about.
After rescheduling Lola’s performance at Newark’s Prudential Center, her manager Nick Shymansky wrote on social media that “there are occasionally days where myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe.
She consistently takes her fans, career, and performances with all utmost respect. I’m only able to express my sincere regret for the inconvenience caused.
She had previously called canceled events and talked about being diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder at the age of 17. People with the disorder may experience psychosis as well as mood swings, according to the mental health charity Mind.
Lola also suffers from ADHD and mental health struggles. In an Instagram post in 2022, she said: “I cant find the words to describe how much this diagnosis has affected my entire life, and my outlook on the world around me.
“I’ve been incredibly learning to accept this aspect of myself, and I’m still learning. I must remind myself that I am just a regular f****** person, that I am human, and that, like everyone else, I am capable of amazing things, and that my mental health does not preclude me. My superpower is it.
She explained that she initially assumed she had bipolar disorder and clinical depression before being diagnosed with the condition.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Lola said: “I have a history of it in the family – my uncle on my dad’s side had schizophrenia, and my mom’s brother had depression, and they both died.”
She revealed her cocaine addiction earlier this month, saying that she had been dealing with it for “a long time.”
“It’s been a struggle — I’ve definitely had to work on some internal healing while grappling with touring and stuff,” she told The Guardian.
“I had to be a little while battling with things, so I had to be away.” However, you learn a lot about being a substance addict. You become more sympathetic toward those who have experienced that as a result. It’s just a continuous journey, really.
She continued, “Many people don’t have the privilege of being able to do that.” Many people are on the road to recovery because they all have addictions. Anyone who has experienced that feeling will be aware that the dopamine dysregulation is not linear, it is always up and down, but it is.
