A few hours later, Young uploaded an Instagram story where she wrote, “For anyone who saw my set at all things go today, i am doing okay now. Thank you for all of your support Lola xxx.”
Earlier in the set, Young spoke about how she “had a tricky couple of days,” adding: “Sometimes life can really make you feel like you can’t continue, but you know what, today I woke up and I made the decision to come here, and I wanted to be cool … and sometimes life can throw you lemons, and you just gotta make lemonade.”
A rep for Young did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.
The incident came one day after Young pulled out of Audacy’s We Can Survive concert in Newark, New Jersey, on Friday night. Hours before the start of the charity show, Young’s manager Nick Shymansky revealed on Young’s Instagram story that he advised her not to perform as a “protective measure to keep her safe.”
“Unfortunately due to a sensitive matter I have advised Lola Young to pull out of performing at Audacy – We Can Survive @ Prudential [Center] this evening,” Shymansky wrote. “Lola is very open about her mental health and there are very occasionally days when myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe.”
Shymansky ended the statement by adding, “She is an incredible person and always takes her fans, career and performances seriously. I can only send huge apologies for the inconvenience caused.”
A spokesperson for Audacy shared their support for the singer in a statement to Rolling Stone: “We support Lola and her mental health and wish her the very best. We thank fans for their understanding.”
Young has described her battles with mental health in the past. “It’s very important that I’ve been open about it because it’s given the leeway for other people to be open about it and the drive for other people to reach out and say how much it has helped them,” she told Rolling Stone, citing occasional episodes that have taken place in front of collaborators, and how writing through them has resulted in some of her most raw work to date.
Friday’s canceled show comes just a week after the singer released her new LP, I’m Only F**king Myself. Young had a breakout hit with the 2024 track “Messy,” and previously released the 2023 album My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely and the 2024 album This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway.
