Lola Young’s Unexpected Incident at All Things Go Festival
Lola Young, a talented singer from South London, faced a startling incident during her performance at the All Things Go music festival, held at Forest Hills Stadium in New York City on September 27. Just as she was delivering a heartfelt performance, Young suddenly collapsed, leading to immediate concern from the audience and swift action from her team.
Young, aged 24, had begun her set energetically, performing tracks from her latest album, I’m Only F—ing Myself. These included “Spiders,” “F— Everyone,” “Dealer,” and “Walk All Over You.” It was during her performance of “Conceited,” a single from earlier in 2023, when she unexpectedly paused and attempted to communicate with her keyboardist before collapsing on stage.
The audience at Forest Hills Stadium watched in quiet shock as security and team members quickly surrounded her. They carried her offstage, leaving the crowd clapping in support and hoping for her swift recovery. A pop track filled the venue as the situation was being handled, maintaining a semblance of normalcy amidst the unexpected turn of events.
Earlier, Young had excitedly shared her eagerness to perform despite having to cancel her appearance the previous night due to a “sensitive matter,” as described by her manager, Nick Shymansky. Shymansky had informed fans via Instagram Story that protective measures were taken occasionally to maintain Young’s safety, hinting at challenges with mental health.
After her exit, fellow performer Doechii took a moment to express support for Young, encouraging the audience to send their love and best wishes. This gesture highlighted the community and support among artists, amplifying the collective hope for her recovery.
Lola Young later reassured her fans through an Instagram Story, expressing her gratitude for the concern and affirming that she was recovering. Her resilience and dedication to her art, despite the hurdles, resonated deeply with her audience.
