Overview
- Lola Young announced on Sept. 30 that she is "going away for a while" and will cancel "everything for the foreseeable future," telling fans she is sorry and promising full refunds.
- The scrapped dates include her North American "Messy" headlining tour, a 17-show run slated to start Nov. 1 in Toronto and end Dec. 6 at the Hollywood Palladium, along with other scheduled performances.
- Her announcement follows a Sept. 27 collapse during her All Things Go set at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium, after which she was carried off by medical staff and canceled the Washington, D.C., festival date the next day.
- One day before the collapse, she withdrew from Audacy’s We Can Survive concert in Newark for a "sensitive matter," and her manager said the team at times takes protective measures to keep her safe; no medical cause has been disclosed, though she later told fans she was doing OK.
- Artists including Kehlani, Hayley Kiyoko, Meghan Trainor, and others posted messages of support, and coverage notes Young has previously discussed ADHD, a schizoaffective disorder diagnosis, and a 2024 rehab stay for cocaine addiction.
