Footage of the incident quickly spread on social media, sparking concern among fans and fellow artists. Young later took to Instagram to calm fears, writing: “Hi, for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing ok now. Thank you for all of your support, Lola.”
The festival crowd rallied behind her, led by rapper Doechii (Jaylah Hickmon), who performed immediately after. She encouraged the audience to shout words of encouragement: “We love you, Lola.” Doechii praised her peer as “an incredibly talented artist” and urged fans to wish her well.
Young’s on-stage collapse came just a day after she cancelled a planned performance at New Jersey’s Prudential Centre, fuelling speculation that she had been unwell.
The singer, who has often been candid about mental health struggles, is in the midst of a busy year. She released her third studio album, I’m Only F***** Myself*, earlier in September, following the breakout success of her 2024 single Messy. Over the summer, she also performed on the Woodsies stage at Glastonbury Festival and joined a coalition of musicians urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to halt new oil and gas drilling at Rosebank in the North Sea.
For now, Young’s assurance that she is recovering has brought relief to fans, though the episode highlights the pressures of a demanding touring schedule.
