Lola Young's On-Stage Collapse: A Glimpse into Her Battle with Schizoaffective Disorder

Lola Young's Shocking Collapse: The Singer's Battle with Mental Health Exposed

The usually vibrant and energetic Lola Young was left struggling for breath on stage at the All Things Go Music Festival in New York, sending shockwaves throughout the crowd on Saturday. The 24-year-old singer, known for her chart-topping hit "Messy," was singing her heart out to a packed audience at Forest Hills stadium when she suddenly collapsed.

Eyewitnesses claim that medical staff were called to the scene and rushed Lola off stage, leaving fans in a state of panic. But this wasn't an isolated incident - just moments before taking the stage, Lola revealed on stage that she'd been having a "tricky couple of days" and wasn't even sure if she could make it through the performance.

"I had a tricky couple of days," she confessed to the audience. "Sometimes life makes you feel like you can't continue, but I woke up this morning and made the decision to come here."

But little did fans know that Lola's struggles with mental health were far from over. Just hours later, she took to Instagram to address the incident, reassuring her supporters that she was doing okay.

"Hi everyone," she wrote. "For anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I'm doing okay now. Thanks for all your support xxx"

But what exactly caused Lola's shocking collapse? The singer had canceled a concert on Friday due to a "sensitive matter," leading fans to speculate about the true nature of her absence.

Lola's manager, Nick Shymansky, took to social media to explain that there are indeed days when he and his team have to take extra precautions to protect Lola from herself. "There are days where myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe," he wrote. "She is an incredible person who always puts her fans, career, and performances first."

But behind the glamorous facade, Lola has been fighting a long battle with schizoaffective disorder - a mental health condition that affects both her mood and thought processes.

In 2022, Lola revealed on Instagram that she'd been diagnosed at just 17 years old. "I still can't find the words to describe how much this diagnosis has affected my entire life and my outlook on the world around me," she wrote.

Lola's struggles with schizoaffective disorder are nothing new - she's spoken publicly about how it's made touring difficult, and how she sometimes experiences manic episodes that last for weeks. "I can usually sense when an episode is coming on," she explained. "But there have been times when I've been taken by surprise and ended up being sectioned."

The singer has also revealed that her illness often leaves her feeling guilty and ashamed. "There are times when I feel like I'm letting everyone down - my fans, my team, myself," she confessed.

Despite these challenges, Lola remains determined to keep performing and inspiring her fans. And with the support of her loved ones and medical professionals, it seems that she's finally finding a way to manage her condition and live life on her own terms.

But Saturday's shocking collapse was a stark reminder that mental health is still a taboo topic in the music industry - and that stars like Lola Young are not immune to its devastating effects.

As fans rallied around Lola with messages of support, one thing is clear: she's not alone in this fight. With her courage and determination as an inspiration to millions, it seems that Lola Young is ready to take on whatever challenges come her way.
