Lola Young fell while playing at a New York City music event.
The 24-year-old singer experienced a medical emergency while performing “Conceited” at the All Things Go Music Festival at Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday, September 27. Young was taken off stage by medical personnel, while the audience shouted in solidarity.
Remi Wolf later stepped onstage and addressed the audience, saying, “That was really f—— scary.” She said, “My friend Lola is backstage, and she is okay.” Doechii also paid tribute to Young during her own performance.
Earlier in the show, Young talked about how she “had a tricky couple of days,” pointing out, “Sometimes life can really make you feel like you can’t continue, but you know what, today I woke up and I decided to come here, and I wanted to be cool … and sometimes life can throw you lemons, and you just have to make lemonade.”
On September 27, representatives for Young and the All Things Go Music Festival did not immediately reply to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Young’s onstage incident occurred one day after she postponed her performance at Audacy’s We Can Survive event on Friday, September 26.
Her manager, Nick Shymansky, posted a message on her Instagram Stories explaining that the musician had to withdraw from the concert “due to a sensitive matter.”
Shymansky hinted that Young’s cancellation may be related to her mental health, something he claims the singer has been “very open about.”
“There are [occasionally] days when my team and I have to take protective measures to keep her safe,” he told reporters. “She is an amazing lady who takes her fans, profession, and performances very seriously. I can only apologize for the inconvenience.”
Young, an English singer, is best known for her 2024 single “Messy.” She has published three albums: 2023’s My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely, 2024’s This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway, and September 19’s I’m Only F—— Myself.
In a personal Instagram post in 2022, Young discussed her mental health and her experience dealing with schizoaffective disease, which she was diagnosed with at the age of 17.
“I can’t find the words to express how much this diagnosis has changed my life and my perspective on the world around me. “I have struggled greatly in learning to accept this aspect of myself, and I am still learning,” she wrote at the time.
Young went on to say, “I have to remind myself that I am a regular f—— person, I am human, and I am capable of incredible things, just like everyone else; my mental health condition does not define me.” It is my superpower,” she added, adding that she has “wild f—— highs and huge lows” and is taking medicine to deal with the effects.
