Lola Young breaks silence on Instagram after being carried off stage at a festival on Saturday 27 September.

Quick one: Lola Young had a rough weekend onstage in New York. The 'Messy' and 'One Thing' singer collapsed mid-set at All Things Go, got carried off, and later hopped on Instagram to tell everyone she is okay.

Here is what happened. Saturday night at the festival, Young was performing 'Conceited' — a track off her second studio album, 'This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway' — when she went down onstage and had to be helped off. Before that, she told the crowd she had been having a tricky couple of days. A TikTok clip from the show captures her trying to push through it with a little pep talk.

"Sometimes life can throw you lemons, and you just gotta f***ing make lemonade."

After the set ended early, she posted on her Instagram Story to say she is doing okay now and thanked fans for the support. It was a scary moment to watch, and given the timing, it tracks: the night before, Young pulled out of Audacy's We Can Survive concert, with Billboard noting she stepped away due to a "sensitive matter."

  • Friday: Young drops out of Audacy's We Can Survive show, citing a "sensitive matter" (via Billboard).
  • Saturday night in New York: collapses while performing 'Conceited' at All Things Go and is carried offstage.
  • Later Saturday: updates fans on Instagram that she is okay and grateful for the support.

No additional statement from her team yet; reps have been contacted for comment. In the meantime, good to hear she is recovering — festival sets can be brutal even on a good day.
