British singer Lola Young, 24, experienced a health scare during her set at the All Things Go festival at Forest Hills Stadium in New York. While performing her track “Conceited”, Young appeared visibly unwell before collapsing on stage. Medical staff rushed to assist her, and she was escorted off shortly after.
Immediate reaction and health update
Within an hour, Young addressed her fans via Instagram Stories, reassuring them of her condition:
“Hi, for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing OK now.”
Following the incident, she announced the cancellation of her scheduled performance at the All Things Go Music Festival in Washington, D.C., on September 28. In her message, Young apologized to fans and expressed her commitment to prioritize her health while continuing to perform whenever possible.

Before collapsing, Young had spoken candidly to the audience about having had “a difficult few days” but insisted on performing despite not feeling well. Fellow artist Remi Wolf, who also performed at the festival, later assured the crowd that Young was safe.

While the scare left fans concerned, many praised Young for her honesty and bravery in addressing her struggles publicly. The incident has also sparked conversations about the pressures artists face on stage and the importance of mental health awareness in the music industry.
