British Singer Lola Young Collapses Onstage, Sparking Concern

On September 26, 2025, British singer Lola Young suffered a medical emergency while performing at the All Things Go festival in New York. As she sang her song "Conceited," Young collapsed and was carried off the stage by a medical unit. Her labelmate Remi Wolf later reassured the audience that Young was "okay" and backstage.

Just a few days prior, Young had canceled a performance in New Jersey, citing mental health reasons. During her festival set, she acknowledged the "tricky couple of days" she had been experiencing, saying, "Sometimes life can really make you feel like you can't continue." However, she decided to perform, determined to "make lemonade" out of the challenges she faced.

The incident with Young came as musician Jack Antonoff criticized Live Nation's CEO for claiming that concert tickets are "underpriced." Antonoff called this a "sick way of looking at it," highlighting the ongoing debate around ticket affordability and accessibility.

As Young recovers, her manager, Nick Shymansky, revealed that he had recommended she cancel the New Jersey show as a "protective measure to keep her safe." The singer's struggles with mental health and substance abuse have often surfaced in her lyrics, including her breakthrough hit "Messy" and her recently released album "I'm Only Fucking Myself."
