Lola Young has said she will be cancelling her forthcoming shows “for the foreseeable future”, days after she collapsed on stage during a performance in New York.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on social media on Tuesday, the 24-year-old singer said she was “going away for a while” and apologised to fans who had bought tickets for her tour.<\/p>\n

During a performance at the All Things Go music festival on Saturday, Young appeared to drop her microphone and fall backwards<\/a>, sparking concern among fans and fellow performers.<\/p>\n

The following day she cancelled her Sunday slot at the festival held at Forest Hills Stadium in Washington DC.<\/p>\n

“I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for all the love and support. I’m so sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me, it hurts me more than you know.<\/p>\n

“Obviously you will be entitled to a full refund.<\/p>\n

“I really hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had some time to work on myself and come back stronger. Love you all, Lola x.”<\/p>\n

The south London singer had been due to embark on a UK tour in October, followed by tour dates in the US, Mexico and Canada in November and December.<\/p>\n

Young addressed her fans and followers on social media<\/p>\n

In videos posted on social media of Young performing her song Conceited at the All Things Go Festival, she looks uncomfortable before collapsing backwards onto the stage.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the set, she had described having “a tricky couple of days” due to a “sensitive matter”, but added: “Today I woke up and I made the decision to come here… sometimes life can throw you lemons and you just gotta make lemonade”.<\/p>\n

Young later reassured fans that she was “doing okay” and thanked them for their support.<\/p>\n

A day prior on Friday her team had cancelled a performance at New Jersey’s Prudential Centre.<\/p>\n

“Lola is very open about her mental health and there are very occasionally days when myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe,” her manager Nick Shymansky said in a statement.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Young was nominated in the UK Music Video Award’s best pop music video category for One Thing, a song on her recently released album I’m Only F****** Myself.<\/p>\n

The artist shot to fame following the release of her 2024 song Messy, which peaked at number one in the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Croatia, Ireland and Israel.<\/p>\n

She became the youngest current British artist to have a number one single since Dave in 2022, and the youngest British woman to score a chart-topper since Dua Lipa in 2017. She has had three UK top 40 singles and one top 10 album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images Lola Young has said she will be cancelling her forthcoming shows “for the foreseeable future”, days…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":201900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-201899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
