Pop Star Lola Young Collapses on Stage, Vows to Keep Performing

On September 14th, 2025, rising pop artist Lola Young collapsed on stage during her performance at the All Things Go Festival in New York City's Forest Hills Stadium. The 24-year-old singer was in the middle of singing her track "Conceited" when she suddenly paused and spoke to her keyboardist before falling backward.

Young's band, team, and security quickly rushed to the stage to carry her off. Afterward, fellow performer Remi Wolf assured the crowd that Young was doing okay, and Doechii told fans to "wish her the best." In a message to her followers, Young acknowledged the incident, saying she was "doing okay now" and thanking fans for their support.

This health scare comes just a week after Young's team had to cancel her scheduled appearance at Audacy's We Can Survive event, citing a "sensitive matter" related to the singer's mental health. Her manager, Nick Shymansky, explained that there are "very occasionally days" where they need to take protective measures to keep Young safe, as she is "very open about her mental health."

Despite the challenges, Young told the All Things Go crowd that she had "woke up and made the decision to come" and perform, not wanting to "wallow in her sadness." The rising pop star has seen a meteoric rise over the past year, with her hit single "Messy" going viral on TikTok and a collaboration with Tyler, the Creator. She has also made her Coachella debut and appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
