The British pop star Lola Young canceled a second show in three days after collapsing onstage at a music festival in Queens on Saturday.
In an Instagram story on Sunday, Young, known for her breakout hit “Messy,” announced that she would not perform at the All Things Go festival in Columbia, Md., later that day.
Apologizing to “those who will be disappointed” by the cancellation, Young, 24, wrote, “I love this job and I never take my commitments and audience for granted.” She did not offer a specific reason for the cancellation, but added, “To all the people that love to be mean online, pls give me a day off.”
The cancellation of the show in Maryland came a day after Young collapsed onstage at a leg of the All Things Go festival in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, and two days after she canceled a performance at the We Can Survive concert at the Prudential Center in Newark. At the time, a representative said that cancellation was because of “a sensitive matter.”
Videos of Young’s collapse on Saturday that were posted to social media show the singer mouthing something to a band member while performing her song “Conceited.” Young then falls backward to the ground. Staff quickly surround her and carry her offstage.
In an Instagram story on Saturday night, Young said she was “doing okay now” and thanked her fans for their support. She did not cite a cause for her collapse.
