“I had no idea obviously — no one could — of the longevity of its life."
After getting emotional while sharing her appreciation for her fans, singer Lola Young collapsed while on stage.
As seen in footage that has now made its rounds on social media, Young was performing some of her most beloved songs at the All Things Go festival in the Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday, September 27, when she began to sway, dropping her microphone, and collapsing backward.
Crew members rushed on stage to attend to Young, 24, as fans in the crowd watched on. Young was eventually carried off the stage as fans cheered her on.
Before the scary incident, Young told her audience that she had experienced a “tricky couple of days” but didn’t want to “wallow in my sadness” making the decision to perform at the festival anyway. After sharing the clichè “when life gives your lemons, make lemonade,” Young thanked her fans for being there.
In the videos circulating online, Young can be seen mouthing to someone off stage that she “feels faint.” Moments later, Young collapses.
Following the incident, Young took to Instagram hours later to share an update.
Via a short statement shared on her Instagram stories, Young wrote, “Hi, For anyone who saw my set at all things go today, I am doing okay now. Thank you for all of your support. Lola xxx.”
The following day, September 28, Young returned to Instagram to announce that she would not be returning to the All Things Go stage.
“I’m sorry to confirm that I won’t be playing all things go in DC today. 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. 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. Lola.”
The singer didn’t go into details regarding why she collapsed on stage.
Young burst on to the music scene last year with her viral 2024 hit “Messy.” Several months later, she released her third studio album, I’m Only F****** Myself in 2025.
