  • British singer Lola Young has revealed she is receiving treatment for addiction, including attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, after collapsing on stage in 2025.
  • The 25-year-old collapsed during the All Things Go festival in New York in September, a week after her third album's release, leading to the cancellation of her autumn tour.
  • In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Young said that the collapse was a “breaking point” and cancelling the tour was necessary so that she didn’t die.
  • She spent two months in a holistic facility following the incident; she has previously undergone rehabilitation for cocaine addiction, but later relapsed.
  • Young returned to performing at the Grammy Awards in February and played her first headline show since the collapse at the London Palladium in March.
