Lola Young says she’s “doing okay” after collapsing on stage in New York City

Lola Young has said she is “doing okay” after collapsing on stage in New York City.

The singer appeared to fall ill while performing ‘Conceited’ at All Things Go in New York City on Saturday (September 27), and was carried offstage by a medical team.

It came after Young spoke briefly about how she “had a tricky couple of days” earlier in the set. “Sometimes life can really make you feel like you can’t continue,” she said. “But you know what, today I woke up and I made the decision to come here, and I wanted to be cool … and sometimes life can throw you lemons, and you just gotta make lemonade.”

Now, she’s given fans an update, taking to her Instagram story to write: “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.”

Following Young’s set, Remi Wolf addressed the incident during her own performance, telling the crowd: “That was really fucking scary.” She added: “My friend Lola is backstage, and she is okay.”

Later, Doechii also showed support for Young during her headline set, saying: “She’s an incredibly talented artist, and she wasn’t feeling well tonight, and I’m so glad you guys were there to support her and hold her up. Let’s wish her the best, OK everybody? So, we love you Lola! And I want her to hear that and I want her to feel that.”

The incident came one day after Young pulled out of Audacy’s We Can Survive concert in Newark, New Jersey, on Friday (September 26) night. Hours before the start of the charity show, Young’s manager Nick Shymansky revealed on Young’s Instagram story that he advised her not to perform as a “protective measure to keep her safe.”

“Unfortunately due to a sensitive matter I have advised Lola Young to pull out of performing at Audacy – We Can Survive @ Prudential [Center] this evening,” Shymansky wrote. “Lola is very open about her mental health and there are very occasionally days when myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe.”

Shymansky ended the statement by adding, “She is an incredible person and always takes her fans, career and performances seriously. I can only send huge apologies for the inconvenience caused.”

Young dropped her second album ‘I’m Only Fucking Myself’, earlier this month. It scored a three star review from NME, with El Hunt writing that despite feeling “a little all over the place”, Young had put many “surprising spins on pop into one record […] largely pulling it off”.

“One of the more interesting new names breaking out right now, Young proves that there’s far more to her repertoire than ‘Messy’, and though it occasionally lacks focus as an album, it also tees up plenty of excitement for whatever’s next.”

The singer told us about the background of ‘Messy’, which ranked as one of the biggest songs of 2025 so far, when she received the Rising Star Award at this year’s Ivor Novello Awards.

“I just wrote it from a really personal place and it can sometimes be re-triggering hearing that song because it was so intense,” she told us at the awards ceremony. “I’m out of that place now, out of that difficult time in my life.”

“I think it’s just a relatable song. A lot of people don’t feel like they’re enough for somebody; they don’t feel like they’ll ever win.”

Elsewhere, Young recently announced a 2025 UK tour, set to kick off in October. You can see a full list of dates here, and buy your tickets here.
