Rising pop star Lola Young is stepping away from the stage following a fall over the weekend during one of her performances.
“I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. “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 British singer is best known for her song “Messy,” which went viral on TikTok. Throughout the year, she’s been performing live at festivals.
On Sept. 27, she collapsed onstage while performing at the All Things Go Festival at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York. She was then carried offstage by medical staff. Earlier in her set, she told the crowd she had a tricky couple of days. The day before she fell, the 24-year-old had to cancel an appearance at a concert in New Jersey. After the fall, she canceled an appearance at Washington D.C.’s All Things Go Festival.
“I really hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had some time to work on myself and come back stronger,” she continued in her post on social media.
Fellow artists and celebrities offered Young support in her post’s comment section.
“We will wait for you!! TAKE UR TIME,” wrote Meghan Trainor. “CHOOSE YOU FIRST!”
R&B singer Kehlani wrote, “You come first!!!”
“We aren’t going anywhere. You are so loved!” wrote Hayley Kiyoko.
