On Saturday evening, Lola Young collapsed at the all-Things Go Festival in New York during the song “Conceited”. She had to be carried from the stage by a team of doctors. A short time later, colleague Remi Wolf calmed down the audience: “It was really terrifying … but my friend Lola is now backstage and she is doing well.”
Withdrawal from “We can survive” show
A few hours after the incident, Young reported himself via Instagram: “Everyone who saw my appearance today – I’m fine now. Thanks for all your support. Lola XXX.”
“Lola is very open with her mental health. On some days we have to act as a precaution to protect them”
The singer had already canceled her appearance at the charity concert “We Can Survive” in Newark on Friday. Manager Nick Shymansky explained on Instagram that he had advised her not to appear: “Lola is very open to her mental health. On some days we have to act as a precaution to protect her.”
“We stand behind Lola and wish her all the best”
Audacy, organizer of the show, assured Young his support: “We stand behind Lola and wish her all the best.”
“I pray for you, Lola. I hope you soon feel better. Your health is going on,” writes a fan. “I have the feeling that she always withdraws from everything,” writes another.
Open words about mental health
Young had talked about her psychological problems several times in the past: “It is important that I deal with it openly. This also gives others the courage to be open.” Some of their rawest songs were created in such phases.
The cancellation and the collapse occurred only one week after the release of their new album “i’m only f ** king myelf”. Before that, she celebrated success with the hit “Messy” (2024) and the albums My Mind Wanders and sometimes Leaves Completely (2023) and t “His wasn’t meant for you anyway” (2024).
