Lola Young Steps Out Publicly After Onstage Incident at Lily Allen’s Holiday Party
Trending on Billboard
Lola Young has made her first public appearance in three months, following her collapse on stage in New York City.
The 24-year-old British pop artist attended Lily Allen’s Christmas event in London on December 19, where she posed for photos with Allen and fellow musician Olivia Rodrigo.
Young took to social media to express her gratitude in her first post since her hiatus, which began after her collapse on September 27 during the All Things Go Festival at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York.
“I just wanted to express gratitude to everyone who has given me time and space to gather myself and get my head in a better place,” she wrote on Instagram Saturday. “I’ve felt so much love and support from you all and it has helped more than you will ever know.”
Additionally, she mentioned her hopes for a gradual return to performing: “I am hoping to gradually get back to performing and continuing pursuing my dreams. Happy holidays to you all and can’t wait to see you in 2026.”
She concluded her message with, “Life is a journey, nothing is perfect, but today I am doing well. All my love always, Lola.”
In light of her collapse, Young canceled her remaining shows to prioritize her mental health and well-being, which included a performance at the All Things Go Festival in Washington, D.C., as well as several tour dates across the U.K. and North America.
At the time, she conveyed her decision, saying, “I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future. I really hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had some time to work on myself and come back stronger.”
Before her collapse, the Grammy-nominated artist had been open with fans about experiencing a challenging period. The day prior to her incident, she withdrew from Audacy’s We Can Survive concert at New Jersey’s Prudential Center, citing a “sensitive matter” related to mental health.
Just a week before her collapse, Young released her third album, *I’m Only F—king Myself*.
