Lola Young has cancelled “everything for the foreseeable future” so she can work on herself and her health after she collapsed onstage in New York City recently.

The 24-year-old shared a statement on Instagram on October 1, saying that she will be “going away for a while” to work on herself and “come back stronger”. The decision comes after she passed out onstage at All Things Go festival and cancelled her appearance at the Washington D.C. date.

“Thank you for all the love and support,” she wrote.

“I’m sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me, it hurts me more than you know. Obviously you will be entitled to a full refund.”

Lola Young has been open about her mental health diagnoses, including ADHD and schizoaffective disorder (which combines symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorders like bipolar). 

She also discussed her addiction struggles openly in a recent profile with The Guardian, where she said she’s “had to be away a bit” and that recovery is “not linear, it’s up and down, but it’s down to dysregulation of dopamine.”.

Lola Young was scheduled to perform across the UK, Canada, North America and Europe over the next six months, including sets at Lollapalooza in South America.
