Lola Young ‘OK’ After Collapsing Onstage During Performance at All Things Go Festival
British singer Lola Young posted that she is “OK” after collapsing onstage during her performance at the All Things Go festival in New York on Saturday.
Young suffered an unspecified medical emergency as she sang her song “Conceited” and was carried offstage by a medical unit. Her labelmate Remi Wolf appeared onstage shortly afterward and reassured the audience, “My friend Lola is backstage, and she is okay,” albeit after saying “That was really fucking scary.”
After a few hours, Young posted an Instagram story in which she wrote, “I am doing okay now. Thank you for all of your support Lola xxx.”

The incident came just days after the singer canceled a performance in New Jersey for mental-health reasons, which she addressed during her set on Saturday, saying she’d “had a tricky couple of days.”
“Sometimes life can really make you feel like you can’t continue,” she added. “But you know what? Today I woke up and I made the decision to come here, and I wanted to be cool. Sometimes life can throw you lemons, and you just gotta make lemonade.”
Her manager, Nick Shymansky, posted on Young’s Instagram story that he had recommended she cancel the performance in New Jersey as a “protective measure to keep her safe.”
Yet earlier in the week, she delivered a stunning acoustic performance and talk at the Brooklyn venue National Sawdust, speaking freely, as she often has, about her challenges with mental health and substance abuse.
Those challenges often surface in the lyrics to her songs, not least her breakthrough hit “Messy,” and her new album, “I’m Only Fucking Myself,” released last week.
