Lola Young Cancels All Shows and Steps Away After Onstage Collapse

Her hiatus follows a festival fainting incident days after her manager pulled a prior set as a protective measure related to mental health.

Overview

  • On Sept. 30, Young told fans she is "going away for a while" and canceling all commitments for the foreseeable future.
  • She promised full refunds to all ticketholders and asked for time to work on herself before returning.
  • The cancellations cover her 17-date North American Messy tour that was slated to run Nov. 1 in Toronto through Dec. 6 in Los Angeles, as well as October U.K. shows in Manchester, Birmingham and London.
  • Young collapsed on Sept. 27 during her All Things Go set in New York, later said she was doing okay, and withdrew from the festival’s Washington, D.C., date the next day.
  • Manager Nick Shymansky previously described a separate last-minute pullout as a protective measure tied to mental health, with no further medical details released as peers and fans publicly offered support.
