Pop Star Lola Young Cancels Shows, Cites Mental Health Struggles

On September 30th, 2025, English pop singer Lola Young announced she will be taking a break from music and canceling all of her upcoming commitments. This decision comes after the 23-year-old collapsed on stage during her performance at the All Things Go Festival in New York City on September 27th.

In a message posted to her Instagram, Young told fans that she is "going away for a while" and that she is "so sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me." The "Messy" singer had been open with her audience about going through a tough time prior to her collapse, and the day before the incident, she had pulled out of a performance at Audacy's We Can Survive concert, citing a "sensitive matter" related to her mental health.

Young's announcement comes less than two weeks after the release of her new album, "I'm Only F-king Myself." Despite her recent success, the rising pop star emphasized that she needs to take time to focus on herself, writing, "I really hope you'll give me a second chance once I've had some time to work on myself and come back stronger."
