Later that night, fellow performer Remi Wolf reassured fans. “My friend Lola is backstage, and she’s okay,” Wolf told the crowd. Young also posted an update on Instagram, writing, “Hi, for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing OK now. Thank you for all of your support, Lola xxx.”
Details Of The Cancelled D.C. Show
On Sunday, just hours before she was scheduled to perform again, Young announced she was canceling her appearance at All Things Go in Washington, D.C. The decision came one day after her onstage collapse in New York.
“I’m sorry to confirm that I won’t be playing All Things Go in DC today,” she said in an Instagram post. “I love this job and I never take my commitments and audience for granted, so I’m sorry to those who will be disappointed by this.”
Fans React to Singer’s Message
Young’s candid post struck a chord with fans and fellow artists. “Thank you to all those who listen and care,” she added. “To all the people that love to be mean online, please give me a day off.” The message drew immediate support from her followers, who flooded her social media with messages of encouragement and well-wishes.
One fan wrote: “You don’t owe anyone anything — but absolutely owe it to yourself to take care of you ♥️ dont read the comments of people who have no idea what it’s like to do what you do 🫶 sending you love”
Another comment read: “Take care of yourself we’re all behind you every step. We haven’t seen talent like you for a long time so protect yourself and make sure you’re ready when you come back we’ll wait for you love and so glad the people who care about you know when to look out for your well being 💙”
A third comment read: “Sending you so much love Lola! Remember, your number one & your health is more important than anything else. Rest well darling 🫶 🤍🙏🏼🖤”
This wasn’t her first canceled appearance of the weekend. On Friday, Young also pulled out of the We Can Survive concert, an event promoting mental health and suicide prevention, according to USA Today.
