Lola Young has made her first public appearance in three months since collapsing onstage in New York.
The 24-year-old English pop star stepped out at Lily Allen’s Christmas event in London on Friday (Dec. 19), posing for photos alongside the host and fellow artist Olivia Rodrigo.
Young also shared a message on social media, marking her first post since “going away for a while” following her collapse on Sept. 27 at the All Things Go Festival at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York.
“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,” Young wrote on Instagram Saturday. “I’ve felt so much love and support from you all and it has helped more than you will ever know.”
The “Messy” singer added, “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.”
She concluded her post, writing, “Life is a journey, nothing is perfect but today I am doing well. All my love always, Lola.”
Following her collapse, Young canceled her remaining shows to prioritize her mental health and well-being. The cancellations included a performance at All Things Go Festival in Washington, D.C., as well as numerous tour dates in the U.K. and North America.
“I’m going away for a while,” she wrote at the time. “It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future.” She added, “I really hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had some time to work on myself and come back stronger.”
Prior to her collapse, the Grammy-nominated musician had been sharing with fans that she was going through a difficult period. The day before the incident, she had also pulled out at the last minute from Audacy’s We Can Survive concert at New Jersey’s Prudential Center, with her manager citing a “sensitive matter” related to mental health.
About a week before the incident, Young released her third album, I’m Only F—king Myself.
