The "Messy" singer attended Lily Allen's Christmas party on Friday, Dec. 19 in her first public appearance since collapsing on stage at All Things Go festival in September. On Saturday, Dec. 20, Young shared a statement updating fans on her wellbeing.
"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 on Instagram. "I've felt so much love and support from you all, and it has helped more than you will ever now."
Young continued, "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."
She signed off the note, "All my love always, Lola."
The statement came after the artist was pictured smiling as she hung out with Allen and Olivia Rodrigo at the West End Girl musician's Christmas party at London's Stringfellows strip club.
Three days after Young collapsed mid-performance at All Things Go, she informed fans she was taking a break from her career. ""I'm going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future," she said in an Instagram post. "Thank you for all the love and support."
Young's cancellations included both U.K. and North American tour dates. "I'm so sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me, it hurts me more than you know," she continued, telling ticketholders they were "entitled to a full refund."
"I really hope you'll give me a second chance once I've had some time to work on myself and come back stronger," she wrote.
During Young's time away from the public eye, she earned two Grammy Award nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Messy" -- and the hit song surpassed a billion streams on Spotify.
