Singer collapses during All Things Go set after recent mental-health struggles — later posts she’s “doing okay.”
British singer Lola Young reassured fans she’s “doing okay” after collapsing onstage during her performance at the All Things Go festival in New York on Saturday.
The moment — which left the crowd visibly shaken — unfolded while Young was singing her song “Conceited,” when she suffered an unspecified medical emergency and was carried off by a medical unit.
Fellow artist and labelmate Remi Wolf returned to the stage shortly after the incident, visibly rattled. “My friend Lola is backstage, and she is okay,” Wolf told the audience, adding, “That was really fucking scary.” A few hours later Young posted an Instagram story confirming she was recovering: “I am doing okay now. Thank you for all of your support Lola xxx.”
The collapse came only days after Young canceled a scheduled New Jersey show for mental-health reasons. Her manager, Nick Shymansky, later said he had urged her to cancel that performance “as a protective measure to keep her safe.”
On Saturday, Young addressed the recent struggles during her set, telling the crowd she’d “had a tricky couple of days” and that sometimes life makes you feel like you “can’t continue.” She added with defiant optimism, “Today I woke up and I made the decision to come here… Sometimes life can throw you lemons, and you just gotta make lemonade.”
Those struggles are not new talking points for Young. Earlier in the week she gave a candid acoustic performance and talk at Brooklyn’s National Sawdust, where she spoke openly about her ongoing battles with mental health and substance abuse — themes that surface regularly in her writing.
Her breakthrough single “Messy” and much of the material on her newly released album, I’m Only Fucking Myself, dive into those darker places with blunt honesty.
Fans and fellow artists flooded social media with concern and support after the onstage collapse, praising festival staff and medical teams for quickly stepping in. Remi Wolf’s calm update — and Young’s own Instagram reassurance later in the day — helped ease immediate fears, though many fans continued to send wishes for a full and restful recovery.
Representatives have not shared further medical details, and Young has not announced whether any upcoming dates will be rescheduled. For now, the singer’s brief message of gratitude and the support from peers and fans have been the clearest signals that she’s on the mend.
If you’re a fan, sending positive messages and respecting her need for privacy as she recovers is the best way to show you care.
