Lola Young Cancels All Appearances After Onstage Collapse

by

Lola Young is putting herself first.

Just three days after falling onstage during a show in New York, the singer known for her hit “Messy” shared that she’s taking a break from performing for the foreseeable future. She stated she would be taking an indefinite hiatus from the stage.

“I’m taking some time off,” she announced in an Instagram post on September 30th. “I’m really sorry, but I need to cancel all my upcoming plans for now.”

Oh my gosh, Lola, she’s just… everything! She actually *thanked* us, her amazing fans, for all the “love and support” – can you believe it? And she promised we’ll get our money back for the shows that are canceled, which is so sweet of her. But honestly, the part that *really* got me was when she said stepping away “hurts me more than you know.” It just shows how much this means to her, and it breaks my heart to see her hurting. I just want her to be okay, you know? Everything for Lola!

“I truly hope you’ll reconsider,” she finished, “after I’ve had a chance to improve and return with renewed strength.”

While performing at the All Things Go music festival in Queens, N.Y. on Sept. 27, Lola seemed to indicate she was about to “faint” during her song “Conceited,” according to videos posted on social media. Shortly after, the singer tripped, dropped her microphone, and fell backwards. Crew members then quickly helped her off the stage.

After quickly telling her followers she was “doing OK” in an Instagram Story, Lola canceled her planned performance at the festival’s Washington, D.C. show the next day, only a few hours before she was supposed to perform.

She posted on her Instagram Stories on Sept. 28 that she loves her job and always appreciates her audience and commitments, so she apologized to anyone who might be disappointed. She also thanked those who listen and show support, and asked people who are unkind online to give her a day to rest. She wrote, “Thank you to all those who listen and care. To all the people that love to be mean online, pls give me a day off.”

Just before becoming ill, Lola shared with the audience that she was dealing with some difficult personal challenges. She mentioned she was working through these struggles moments before the medical incident.

She shared, “Life can be incredibly difficult, and there are times when it feels impossible to keep going. But today, I chose to be here.” She continued, “I wanted to feel strong… and when life gives you challenges – when it gives you lemons – you have to find a way to make the best of it, to make lemonade.”

It’s not uncommon for celebrities to face health challenges. Continue reading to discover what they’ve shared about their personal experiences.

The former star of Total Bellas shared that one of her breast implants moved out of place after being hit in the chest by Piper Niven, another WWE wrestler, during a match in July 2025.

“It’s okay,” she reassured her sister Bella Garcia at the time. “We’ll get it fixed eventually. I told the doctor, I said, ‘Now that I’m newly divorced, as soon as I retire, I’ll come back to you and we’ll make sure these horses look their best, because they’re going to be competing again soon, and they can’t look like this.’”

The 12 Years a Slave actress received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids-harmless growths that form in or near the uterus-back in 2014. This was the same year she won an Oscar for her role in the film.

She didn’t share her diagnosis publicly until 2025, when she wrote on Instagram that she had been “suffering in silence” for over ten years. It was only then that she revealed what she’d been going through.

She explained that when girls enter puberty, they’re often told that periods are supposed to be painful, and that this pain is just an unavoidable part of womanhood. She added, “We often deal with this challenging experience in isolation, even though it affects so many of us.”

 

In July 2025, the Daisy Jones & The Six star revealed she needed hospital treatment for a hernia-which is a weak spot in the abdominal or groin muscles-and explained it was caused by wearing very tight pants.

Someone messaged me on X, which used to be Twitter, saying, “Suki, you never tweet anymore!” It really got me thinking… I mean, have they *ever* considered that about six months ago, I wore pants so incredibly tight, it actually caused a hernia? And I’ve just been too afraid to tell them? It’s been a secret I’ve been holding onto.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 actor shared in April 2025 that he was getting better after having surgery because his appendix was close to rupturing.

I recently shared with my followers that I wasn’t feeling my best. Last week, I started experiencing some stomach pain, and things escalated quickly. I ended up needing to go to the emergency room, and it turned out I had a perforated appendix. It wasn’t *quite* burst, thankfully, but it was very close. I wanted to be transparent about what was going on, as health is so important, and I’m now focusing on recovery. It was a scary experience, but I’m grateful for the amazing medical care I received.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

The Racing Louisville midfielder went down shortly after the start of her team’s game against the Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle.

According to Reuters, the United States Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field, with a teammate supporting her, when the referee signaled for medical staff to evaluate her. She then collapsed just moments later.

According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) later that evening, Savannah received immediate medical attention at the game and was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests. The National Women’s Soccer League reported she is currently stable and alert.

Adam Devine revealed that he continues to experience effects from injuries he suffered as a child. He was 11 years old when he was hit by a cement truck.

“It’s been incredibly difficult,” Devine explained on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast in 2025. “I experience muscle spasms everywhere. Recently-within the past year-doctors believed I was facing a life-threatening condition-they thought I was dying.”

He observed that pain is often temporary, explaining, “My body has all these things that are a little wonky and a little wrong with it.“

The Bachelor Nation alum revealed he had to go to the hospital while literally crawling on all fours because of severe back pain. The pain got much worse during a road trip he took with a friend.

He described a lingering tingling sensation, saying, “Right now, knees to my toes, it’s, like, still tingly, which is crazy,” on a March 2025 episode of his Trading Secrets podcast. He explained the extent of his injury, noting, “And to put in perspective, I don’t know, man, like not to sound douchey, but like two, three weeks ago, maybe a month ago, I was squatting probably like 295 pounds. And right now, I can’t do a squat on my foot. I can’t do a one legged squat, I fall. It’s like I had a stroke or something.”

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Real Housewives of Orange County’s Gina Kirschenheiter revealed that her former husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he fortunately pulled through.

The 30 Rock actor experienced a medical issue while attending a New York Knicks basketball game in March 2025, and had to be taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

But the comedian later posted an update on social media, explaining that he had actually suffered from food poisoning and was recovering well.

The Even Stevens star revealed in February 2025 that she was shot in the face during a shooting trip to celebrate her husband Brendan Rooney‘s birthday.

She explained on Instagram that another group was with them and accidentally fired a weapon in the wrong direction, hitting her in the face. @thebrendanrooney quickly helped, checked her condition, and took her to the hospital. She was struck five times, and one of the shots was dangerously close-less than an inch-to her right eye.

The Kim Possible star explained, “Sadly, a small piece became stuck behind my eye, and doctors believe it’s too dangerous to try and remove it with surgery right now. They’ll keep checking on me – thankfully, my vision is still normal at the moment.”

The actress expressed her relief at being alive. “I have so much love for my daughters, husband, family, and friends,” she stated. “I truly felt my life pass before me, and I want to tell everyone: cherish your loved ones and hug them whenever you get the chance. Things can change so quickly.”

Although the internet can often be unkind, Amy Schumer is grateful it helped her find answers about a health concern.

“After doing a lot of interviews, people started commenting on my “puffier” face, and I just asked everyone to calm down,” Amy remembered on a January 2025 episode of Call Her Daddy. “But then doctors began leaving comments, saying they thought something was seriously wrong and that my face looked very unusual. I couldn’t believe I was being criticized by doctors!”

These doctors suggested she might have Cushing syndrome, potentially caused by high cortisol levels or steroid injections. This made the Life & Beth creator realize, “Wait a minute, I *have* been getting steroid injections in my scars.”

“I had a breast reduction, a C-section, and other procedures, so I was receiving these injections,” Amy explained. “They gave me Cushing syndrome, and I wouldn’t have known about it if not for the internet.”

Today, Amy is simply relieved to be healthy. She shared in a February 2024 News Not Noise newsletter, “Finding out I have a form of Cushing that will resolve on its own and that I’m healthy was the best news I could have hoped for.”

During a game in December 2024, an AHL player suffered a cut from another player’s skate and needed 25 stitches to close the wound.

Hailey Bieber had the “scariest moment” of her life when she was having breakfast with husband Justin Bieber and started experiencing stroke-like symptoms in March 2022.

“Justin was like, ‘Are you OK?'” the Rhode skincare mogul shared a month later on YouTube, “and I just didn’t respond because I wasn’t sure. And then he asked me again and when I went to respond, I couldn’t speak. The right side of my face started drooping. I couldn’t get a sentence out.”

While Hailey said the facial drooping stopped and her speech came back, she went to the hospital to make sure she was OK.

“They did some scans and they were able to see that I had suffered a small blood clot to my brain,” the model added, “which they labeled and categorized as something called a TIA [Transient Ischemic Attack].”

Later, Hailey went to the University of California, Los Angeles, where she found out she had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO).

She explained the blood clot had traveled into her heart, “escaped” through the hole and went to her brain, leading to the TIA.

Hailey said she had a successful PFO closure procedure and was now feeling great.

The year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also went through a difficult time.

In June 2022, the “Baby” singer revealed he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that temporarily paralyzed parts of his face and led him to cancel the rest of his Justice World Tour.

“This virus affects a nerve in my ear and the nerves in my face, causing paralysis,” Justin explained in a video on Instagram. “As you can see, this eye doesn’t blink, I can’t smile on this side of my face, and this nostril won’t move. It’s complete paralysis on this side.”

He also shared with his fans that it had become “increasingly difficult to eat.” Fortunately, the paralysis eventually disappeared.

“He’s doing really well,” Hailey said on Good Morning America in June 2022, and later added, “He’s feeling much better. It was a very frightening and unexpected situation, but he’s going to be completely fine, and I’m so grateful he’s okay.”

Initially, Jamie Foxx kept the details of his hospitalization in April 2023 to himself, but he eventually shared his experience.

He explained that one day while in Atlanta, “I was having such a bad headache, so I asked my friend, I said, ‘Listen, I need an aspirin,’” in his 2024 Netflix special What Had Happened Was… “Before I could get the Aspirin, I passed out. I don’t remember the next 20 days.”

Jamie explained he first went to a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home. However, his sister, Deidra Dixon, worried about him and drove him to the hospital, where doctors discovered he had a brain bleed that caused a stroke.

After surgery, twenty days later, the Django Unchainedactor woke up on May 4th in a wheelchair, unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy.

“All I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer,” he said, “because I needed every single one.”

The television personality shared that she momentarily felt as though she “died” while jogging a mile during the initial competition of the NBC show.

“I don’t recall much,” she shared on Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser. “I remember the sound of the helicopter. It felt like I was drifting, and then I saw my grandpa. After that, everything went dark, but then I saw light again. That’s when I knew, I just knew I had died that day.”

“My organs were basically failing,” she went on to say. “I didn’t know I had rhabdomyolysis. And rhabdomyolysis is what your body does when it’s about to shut down.”

Emilia Clarke is known for filming intense battle scenes in Game of Thrones, but in 2019, she revealed a personal battle in an essay for The New Yorker titled “A Battle for My Life.”

She described experiencing a severe headache while at the gym, saying, “I reached the toilet, sank to my knees, and proceeded to be violently, voluminously ill.” The pain-sharp, stabbing, and constricting-only worsened. She realized something was seriously wrong with her brain.

She was rushed to the hospital for a brain scan.

“The diagnosis was quick and frightening: a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening stroke caused by bleeding around the brain,” the Emmy nominee explained. “I had an aneurysm, which is a rupture in an artery.”

Emilia underwent immediate surgery to repair the aneurysm, describing the pain as “unbearable.” During her recovery, she experienced aphasia and found herself “muttering nonsense.”

Fortunately, “the aphasia passed” after a week, and Emilia was discharged from the hospital a month after being admitted.

However, a 2013 brain scan revealed that the growth had “doubled in size,” requiring a second surgery.

“When I woke up, I was screaming in pain,” she wrote. “The surgery hadn’t worked. I had a massive bleed, and the doctors told me my chances of survival were very low if they didn’t operate again. This time, they needed to access my brain through my skull.”

Thankfully, Emilia shared, she is now “at a hundred per cent.”

Snoop Dogg‘s daughter, Cori Broadus, feels thankful for the support of her family.

This comes after she experienced a “severe stroke” in January 2024, prompting her loved ones to quickly come to her aid.

“I texted them that I just had a stroke and sent them a picture,” she shared with  TopMob News correspondent Will Marfuggi in December 2024. “Everyone immediately came to my rescue.”

Due to other health issues, Cori ended up needing to stay in the hospital for a longer period than she initially anticipated.

“I could have been discharged after the stroke, but my lupus wasn’t stable,” explained the Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story star. “My kidneys were also beginning to fail. There was a lot happening at once.”

Currently, Cori is recovering well.

“I’m doing great,” she said. “I just needed to regain some motor skills, but other than that, I’m doing fine.”

Shailene Woodley experienced significant health challenges during her early twenties.

“I reached a point where I was losing my hearing, and I couldn’t walk for more than five minutes without needing to rest for hours and sleep. Everything I ate caused me stomach pain,” the actress explained on a September 2024 episode of the SHE MD Podcast. “It was a combination of problems, diagnoses, and conflicting advice from different doctors.”

Shailene-who has chosen to keep her specific condition private-began searching for answers.

“I come from a background that values a holistic approach and I study herbalism,” she added. “So I was determined to work with both traditional doctors and alternative healers, hoping to find some relief and comfort.”

It was a lengthy process-lasting for a decade.

“Over those ten years, the constant physical discomfort led to other issues,” the Big Little Lies star noted, “like becoming afraid of food because everything hurt my stomach. This then spiraled into body image issues, confusion about who I was, and feeling unsafe in my own body.”

After addressing both her physical and mental wellbeing, Shailene is now feeling much improved.

“Ultimately, my body healed itself, and I am very healthy,” she shared. “I’m so grateful to be able to say that.
