British singer-songwriter Lola Young has announced the cancellation of all her upcoming performances following a health-related incident during her set at the All Things Go Music Festival in New York on September 27, 2025. The 24-year-old artist collapsed mid-performance, prompting immediate medical attention and leading to the abrupt end of her show. Subsequently, she canceled her scheduled appearance in Washington, D.C., on September 28, citing the need to prioritize her health.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on September 30, Young expressed her deep regret over disappointing her fans and confirmed that she is stepping away from the public eye for the foreseeable future to focus on her well-being. She assured ticket holders that full refunds would be provided and thanked her supporters for their understanding during this challenging time. The cancellation affects her North American tour, including a 17-date headlining run scheduled to commence on November 1 in Toronto.
Young has been candid about her mental health and personal struggles in the past. She has openly discussed her diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder and ADHD, as well as her recovery from a cocaine addiction in 2024. These challenges have previously led to performance cancellations, including a withdrawal from the We Can Survive concert in Newark earlier this year and an onstage illness during her Coachella debut. Despite these setbacks, she has continued to release music and connect with her audience.
Her third studio album, I’m Only F**king Myself, was released on September 19, 2025, shortly before the health incident. The album, which includes the viral hit “Messy,” has been met with critical acclaim and commercial success. Fans and fellow artists have expressed their support for Young, emphasizing the importance of her health and well-being. As she takes this necessary break, her community stands by her, hopeful for her recovery and future return to the stage.
