Updated | By Music Reporter
The British singer is ready to return to the stage after collapsing during a performance.
Lola Young has shared a positive health update with her fans. The 24-year-old is back in the spotlight after taking a break to focus on her mental health and wellbeing.
Young made headlines in September when she cancelled all of her upcoming performances after collapsing onstage at a music festival.
The 'Messy' singer appeared to suffer a medical emergency, but did not share any details about her condition.
Young says she is grateful for the support she has received.
"I just wanted to express gratitude to everyone who has given me time and space to gather myself and get my head in a better place,” she wrote in a statement shared on Instagram.
"I’ve felt so much love and support from you all, and it has helped more than you will ever know.”
The British singer is also looking forward to performing again. "I am hoping to gradually get back to performing and continuing pursuing my dreams. Happy holidays to you all and can’t wait to see you in 2026."
Young has already been spotted out and about. She was pictured at Lily Allen's Christmas party on Friday, December 19.
Images from the event show her posing with Allen and Olivia Rodrigo.
