British singer Lola Young, one of the biggest revelations of 2025, has stunned fans by announcing she is canceling all her upcoming shows after collapsing on stage during her performance at the All Things Go Festival in New York on September 27. The 24-year-old artist, who has been topping playlists worldwide with hits like MESSY and her latest album I’m Only F**king Myself, explained that she needs time to focus on her health.

«Sometimes life can really make you feel like you can’t continue, 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,» Young told the crowd prior to her collapse.

The Decision After The Incident

The incident, which occurred at Forest Hills Stadium, forced Lola to leave the stage mid-performance. She had already canceled a concert the day before, and after this collapse, she also withdrew from her next planned show in Washington, D.C. In a heartfelt message on Instagram, Lola wrote:

«I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I need to cancel everything for the foreseeable future. Thank you for all the love and support. I’m sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me», Lola wrote on her Instagram profile. «I hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had time to work on myself and come back stronger. I love you all.»

Fans who had purchased tickets can rest assured that refunds will be issued. Lola emphasized her regret at disappointing anyone who had planned to see her live, but her priority now is recovery.

The Pressure Behind International Success

This sudden break highlights the pressure that comes with rapid fame. Lola Young has been open about her struggles with mental health, including a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, ADHD, and past issues with addiction. The relentless pace of touring and media attention can take a heavy toll, and the star’s decision to step back is a courageous choice that prioritizes her wellbeing.

Her planned UK tour, starting October 6 in Manchester, as well as North American dates in November and December, have been canceled. Fans and industry insiders alike are sending messages of support, hoping that this hiatus will allow Lola to recharge and return stronger.

While the exact cause of her collapse is still unknown, what matters most now is that Lola Young takes the time she needs to rest, heal, and come back to music with the energy and talent that have made her one of the brightest stars of the year.
