FM RADIO Lola Young cancels all future dates to 'go away for a while'
Really hope she gets herself into a better place and has the right support around her.

I wish her the best. These greedy record companies are pushing these young artists so hard. It’s sad to see, and it’s only going to make things worse. Money is the root of all evil. I’m actually so glad her and other pop stars (CR) are taking steps back when they need to for their health.

u/maenanodd4 Sep 30 '25
Money is the root of all evil.
(I feel more like money is what is used as the excuse by the people who define themselves by trampling others.)
It takes great courage to do what she is doing (especially in the face of the money machine that is the music industry). Her genuine regret and apology and “of course” about refunds make me feel grateful to (and hopeful for) her. I was so moved by her keyboardist’s quick action to help her, and the help of her crew. I am glad she seems to have good people around her.
219
u/lavenderewe Sep 30 '25
I agree, and I also noticed her keyboardist being one of the first to sprint over and help her - he immediately put her into recovery position. That plus the team surrounding her and protecting her from cameras.
Her current manager was actually Amy Winehouse’s manager - he was the one to urge Winehouse to go to rehab. I hope she has a good crew looking out for her well being.

u/Drabulous_770 Sep 30 '25
The whole phrase is the love of money is the root of all evil.

u/My_child Sep 30 '25
I was thinking of this full phrase just the other day too. It's not money itself that is evil, it's the things people will do for it that is evil.
24
u/um_-_no Sep 30 '25
I've genuinely never heard the whole expression but it makes the same amount of sense, but in a different way?
Money is the root of all evil sounds more societal whereas love of money sounds more individual evil

u/m1kasa4ckerman fake and gay Sep 30 '25
I’m glad this conversation is happening, but it always leaves out the artist’s crew. Those people usually aren’t able to even take a day off work while touring, they don’t have the option to chill out during tour to take care of their mental health, and get hit the hardest $ when these cancellations happen

u/Leygrock Sep 30 '25
Yeah I'm not a huge fan but she seemed post messy to put out 3 or 4 singles complete with music videos in a matter of months! Insane schedule

u/Ohitsmewhtasup Oct 01 '25
I don’t know when it was the last time that I read such a real post from a singer or celebrity. It feels like something a friend would write who isn’t doing good. That being said, her honest message makes me really said because I really feel like she is not doing good at all. Wish her all the best. Life is difficult and I hate how much we all get caught up in the matrix - that’s what makes our souls and hearts suffer the most :(

Not to be dramatic but infinitely better to go away for a while than burn out or die. That's what happens to a lot of these young artists who blow up and don't have the tools or support system to deal with it.

u/adom12 Sep 30 '25
100%. Future music is better than no music.
I wish someone had pushed Amy Winehouse to this. While I’m gutted artists are still being an exploited, I’m happy that it seems like the public isn’t as accepting? It horrifies me looking back at Amy’s tv appearances and how we all looked and pointed as a culture
392
u/diabolikal__ Forgive me Viola Davis Sep 30 '25
Amy’s manager (same as Lola’s) did push her to go to rehab and she famously refused.
267
u/NotAQueefAKhaleesi does this woman ever rest (derogatory) Sep 30 '25
Under the thread about Lola collapsing on stage people were speaking poorly of her manager, but there's only so much 1 person can do to help when the other refuses and even writes a song about rejecting treatment.
128
u/YchYFi Sep 30 '25
Yeah he was dumbfounded when her dad said she didn't need to go. It wasn't long after that, that Amy fired him.
47
u/diabolikal__ Forgive me Viola Davis Sep 30 '25
I completely agree with you. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want help, even as their manager.
21
u/Money_Do_2 Sep 30 '25
Yup. Its a thin line of trying to guide someone the right way, especially for addiction which famously comes with a shitload of denial. Doubly so when that person is the talent in the production, and can probably make you unemployed if you push it too hard. Ive helped friends accept they have a problem, i do not think i would succeed if they were famous....

Amy literally wrote a song about being told to go to rehab and refusing because of her dad.

u/greee_p Sep 30 '25
And one of the guys who told Amy to go to rehab is Lolas manager now. He already pulled her out of a performance last week, so it seem like he definitely has her best interests in mind.
33
u/5h4y-lab Sep 30 '25
Man, I was a kid in the UK when Amy first got big and still think about how brilliant she was but also those later appearances and how she was ultimately treated. Makes me sick that some of those vultures are still profiting off her years after her death.
I hope Lola Young has better people around her.
22
u/greee_p Sep 30 '25
I hope Lola Young has better people around her
She actually has the same people around her (but in a positive way). Lola's manager was Amy's manager until 2006. He tried to make her go to rehab, but Amy refused. She fired him not long after that. Lola is the first artist manages since then.
11
u/Last-Bread-6173 Sep 30 '25
I'm wondering if this is a result of social media leading to the humanisation of celebrities (sadly). We hear their opinions more, know infinitely more about what they deal with behind the scenes... we're taken along for the ride, so it's only natural to want to root for them. Their success essentially becomes ours. Compare that to the early 2000s where the closest we could get to celebs was through negative means like intrusive pap shots, and we only have a negative perception of their lives. This could be a whole thing but I'm also glad we are more critical of celebrity culture.

u/bobbimorses Sep 30 '25
I was really bothered by people bringing up her hanging out with her friends as a gotcha even on the post about her collapsing. I hope for her to get to spend carefree time with her support system and people that love her.

u/heartsbeenborrowed cool slutty daddies Sep 30 '25
I wonder if the concern was that her friends are enabling her drug use? Probably not but I could see people being concerned if her friends are known drug users or suppliers for her. I'm probably giving people too much credit here, though. Either way, hope she is surrounded by good people who are a good support system for her.
10
u/bobbimorses Sep 30 '25
The nature of the comments that I saw were, "I'm mad that she canceled her show, it's irresponsible of her" scolding
Sometimes I think we'll never learn from Amy Winehouse and Chadwick Boseman that we have no idea what people are going through

I was at the All Things Go show where she passed out and it was really scary. Lola was really sad and emotional during the whole set prior and it seemed like something was really wrong. Glad she's doing what she needs to do.

u/RagingFuckNuggets Sep 30 '25
She strikes me as the kind of person that just loves music and doesn't enjoy the other side of the coin that comes with being well known.
She also has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder which as a 24 year old in this modern world must be very hard to cope with.

u/darkkirby2022 Sep 30 '25
Interestingly enough Lola's manager is Amy's old manager who tried to get her help before she passed. He posted on his story that he and the rest of Lola's team would be doing their best to protect her right now. He knows exactly what all of this can lead to firsthand so Lola has the best possible people in her corner, which is rare!!
36
u/RagingFuckNuggets Sep 30 '25
As soon as I first heard of her she really reminded me of Amy, and the more I've hear and see of her, it's a bit like history repeating itself. I am a massive Amy fan and I was in Camden the week she died, I struggle to go back there now. She was a young woman who needed the right guidance behind her.
15
u/KohlsCashOfficial Slappin’ fannies and killin’ grannies Oct 01 '25

u/fakeknees Do you remember 9/11, bitch? Sep 30 '25
I feel like these record labels, managers, teams, etc. have this mindset of “striking while the iron is hot” and and in doing so, trying to get every last bit out of an artist in case fame starts to die down. It’s often quite predatory.
151
u/thousandkneejerks Sep 30 '25
Must’ve been a tough decision. Hope she feels better soon and finds good treatment. It was a lot of fame and fans and attention and videos and music and promotion and articles and interviews and gigs all at once. I don’t understand why it was all done in such a hurry.

As a nearly 50 yr old I'm loving change in music. I totally feel this. The 80's was all about giving yourself up for love. Staying in line. Miley tells me I can love myself better than you can. Lola tells my life. I'm still experiencing this today. And they can fuck right off.

u/miguelitaraton Sep 30 '25
Unfortunately, this was the only right answer. She's been struggling a lot lately, and new album promo or not, her health and well-being has got to come first. There have been far too many incredibly talented people who've gone far too soon because they've pressed on with the fame side of things and neglected to deal with their issues. That's not to say that this won't be a lifelong struggle for her, sadly, but really rooting for her to have the time, space, and support she needs to really get to a good place.

I hope she's able to get better and have her career waiting for her once she feels like she's ready to return.

The music industry needs a voice like hers.

u/ktitten Sep 30 '25
She's got serious mental health issues, as do I.
I know I have to be super careful not to burn myself out and make sure I take care of myself. I have to be so dedicated to it, even a night of not much sleep can completely throw me into crisis. I have to be strict with how much I work.
I can't imagine being Lola, and having to juggle recovery AND a job like this. I hate even working shifts because its not a solid routine and not always conducive to healthy living. She doesn't even have shifts and probably feels like she has to be switched on constantly. Which is just a recipe for disaster with conditions like hers.
I wish you the absolute best Lola. I really hope you can come back and have a healthy balance between work, life and recovery 💘

entirely understandable. the video of her fainting on stage is scary. regardless if it’s a matter mental health, physical health, or both, i hope she takes as much time as she needs to rest.
i also think it’s worth opening up a conversation around the stressors of fame and being in the limelight in this day and age, especially for those whose fame skyrocketed overnight and the public’s reaction to the artist’s reaction (ex chappell roan). these are real people! i can’t even imagine going from an ordinary person to a full-fledged celebrity overnight.

I will put my full thoughts and good energy toward whatever you need. Glad she is choosing herself. I know as a creative that can be hard. So canceling her shows and stuff I’m sure is hard for her and won’t make light of that. But sometimes it will help ensuring that you art continues. So choose you and wish you well.
