Rising Star Collapses on Stage, Cancels Show Amid Mental Health Battles

On September 27, 2025, 24-year-old singer Lola Young suffered a medical incident while performing live at the All Things Go Music Festival in New York City. Young was in the middle of singing her hit song "Conceited" when she suddenly collapsed on stage. The audience watched in concern as medical staff rushed to carry Young off the stage.

This onstage incident came just a day after Young had canceled a performance at the Audacy's We Can Survive concert on September 26, 2025. Her manager, Nick Shymansky, stated that Young had to withdraw from the show due to a "sensitive matter" related to her mental health, which he said the singer has been very open about.

In 2022, Young had revealed that she was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder at the age of 17. She has been candid about how this condition has profoundly affected her entire life and outlook. Young has said she goes through "crazy highs and immense lows" and is on medication to help manage the symptoms.

Despite these challenges, Young remains determined to pursue her music career. She has released three albums since 2023, with her latest, "I'm Only F------ Myself," debuting on September 19, 2025. Young considers her mental health condition a "superpower" and remains committed to her craft and fans.
