Lola Young Cancels DC Show After Onstage Collapse at NYC Festival
LOLA YOUNG'S SHOCKING ONSTAGE COLLAPSE ROCKS MUSIC FESTIVAL SCENE
In a dramatic turn of events, singer-songwriter Lola Young, 24, was forced to cancel her highly-anticipated gig in Washington D.C. on Sunday after collapsing on stage during her performance at the All Things Go Music Festival in New York just hours earlier.
Eyewitnesses claim that Lola was "carried off stage" by medical staff as she sang Conceited at Forest Hills stadium on Saturday night, sending shockwaves through the music festival crowd. The singer's team later reassured fans that she was receiving medical attention and would be okay, but it seems that the ordeal has left a lasting impact on her health.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Lola broke the news to her devastated fans, saying: "I'm sorry to confirm that I won't be playing All Things Go in D.C. today. I love this job and I never take my commitments and audience for granted so I'm sorry to those who will be disappointed by this."
But what's really going on behind the scenes? Sources close to Lola reveal that she had been feeling unwell leading up to her performance, admitting on stage just moments before her collapse: "I've had a tricky couple of days. Sometimes life makes you feel like you can't continue, but I woke up and made the decision to come here."
This isn't the first time Lola has faced health issues related to her schizoaffective disorder diagnosis at the age of 17. The singer has been open about her struggles with mental health in the past, revealing that she often feels ostracized after incidents where she's been unwell in public.
In a candid Instagram post last year, Lola shared: "I have struggled immensely learning to accept this part of myself, and I am still learning. I have to remind myself that I am a regular f** person, I am human and I am, like everyone, capable of incredible things. My mental health condition does not define me – it is my superpower."
But despite her openness about her struggles, Lola's team has now stepped in to reveal the challenges they face when managing her touring schedule. Her manager Nick Shymansky wrote on social media: "There are occasionally days where myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe. She is an incredible person and always takes her fans, career and performances seriously. I can only send huge apologies for the inconvenience caused."
The news of Lola's collapse has sparked concern among fans and fellow musicians alike, with many taking to social media to offer their support. One fan wrote: "Sending all my love and best wishes to @LolaYoung she's an amazing artist and a true inspiration"
As the music world waits with bated breath for further updates on Lola's health, one thing is clear – this talented singer has shown incredible resilience in the face of adversity.
