After her hit “Messy” catapulted Lola Young into stardom, the 24-year-old singer had a hard year. She canceled performances due to mental health concerns, vomited onstage at Coachella, collapsed during her All Things Go festival set, and then announced a hiatus at the end of September. Now, she’s back with her first message since then.
On social media, she wrote:
Hey,
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. I’ve felt so much love and support from you all and it has helped more than you will ever know.
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.
Life is a journey, nothing is perfect but today I am doing well.
All my love always, Lola x
Yesterday (Dec. 19) she made her first public appearance since announcing the hiatus at Lily Allen’s Christmas party at the London strip club Stringfellows.
Olivia Rodrigo, Lewis Capaldi, and Louis Starkey attended too.
