Recap: Lola Young's collapse onstage and hiatus

Lola Young's latest update comes three months after her mid-performance collapse at New York City's Forest Hills Stadium during the All Things Go festival. On Sept. 27, the pop singer was caught in a video swaying initially before tumbling backward onstage.

The Conceited singer's team and paramedics were quick to assist her and carry her off the stage. Two days later, Lola Young also announced the cancellation of her impending shows through a heartfelt apology on Instagram.

"I'm sorry to confirm that I won't be playing all things go in DC today. I love this job and I never take my commitments and audience for granted, so I'm sorry for those who will be disappointed by this."

She continued:

"I hope you'll all give me another chance in the future. Thank you to those who listen and care. To all the people that love to be mean online, pls give me a day off."

However, on Oct. 1, she took to her page again to announce her hiatus while thanking those who expressed support following the incident.

"I'm going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future. Thank you for all the love and support. I'm so sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me, it hurts me more than you know."

The announcement also came amid the cancellation of her shows in Birmingham, Stretford, Mexico City, Washington, Boston, Toronto, Liverpool, and more.

Lola Young hadn't been seen since then, until Dec. 19, when she attended Lily Allen's Christmas party. In a new photo, the Big Brown Eyes songstress is photographed posing next to Olivia Rodrigo.
