British singer Lola Young Posted that she is “ok” after collapsing on stage during her performance at the All Things Go Festival in New York on Saturday.
Young suffered from an unspecified medical emergency when she sang her song “Conceititis” and was transported from the stage by a medical unit. Her labelmate Remi Wolf showed up on stage shortly thereafter and insured the audience, “My friend Lola is backstage, and she is okay,” albeit after saying “it was really scary.”
After a few hours, Young published an Instagram story where she wrote: “I’m doing well now. Thanks for all your support Lola XXX.”

The incident came just a few days after the singer interrupted a performance in New Jersey for mental health reasons, which she spoke during her set on Saturday and said she had “had a tricky couple of days.”
“Sometimes life can really make you feel that you can’t continue,” she added. “But do 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 lemons, and you just have to make lemonade.”
Her boss, Nick Shymansky, published on Young’s Instagram story which he had recommended that she interrupts the show in New Jersey as a “protective action to keep her safe.”
Even earlier this week, she delivered a fantastic acoustic performance and talk at Brooklyn -Place National Sawdust and spoke freely, which she often has, about her challenges with mental health and abuse.
These challenges often appear in the lyrics to her songs, not least her breakthrough here “Messy” and her New album, “I’m Only Fucking Myself,” was released last week.
