In a heartfelt Instagram post, Lola reassured everyone that she’s feeling better and thanked her fans for the outpouring of support. “Hi, for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing OK now,” she wrote, adding, “Thank you for all of your support, Lola.”
Before the incident, Lola had told the crowd she’d been going through a “tricky couple of days” due to a “sensitive matter.” She added, “Sometimes life throws you lemons, but you’ve got to make lemonade,” trying to keep the energy positive despite what she was dealing with.
Her collapse came right after she had to cancel her performance at New Jersey’s Prudential Center the day before. Despite this, the support from other artists was evident. Rapper Doechii, who performed after Lola, got the crowd to chant “we love you Lola” and praised the singer as “an incredibly talented artist.” She also acknowledged that Lola wasn’t feeling well before the show.
Lola Young, a graduate of the Brit School for Performing Arts and Technology (the same school that produced artists like Adele and Jessie J), has been making waves in the music world. She first gained major attention with her 2024 hit “Messy,” which hit number one in multiple countries, including the UK, Australia, and Israel. The song also became a viral sensation on TikTok, helping to boost her international profile.
At just 24, Lola made history as the youngest current British artist to have a number-one single since Dave did it in 2022, and the youngest British woman to top the charts since Dua Lipa in 2017.
Recently, Lola was spotted at London Fashion Week, performing at the H&M at 180 Strand show, further solidifying her place as an emerging star.
Despite Saturday’s health scare, no further performances have been canceled at this time, and fans are hopeful for her quick recovery.
