Lola Young Breaks Down at Capital’s Summertime Ball After Technical Issues

Footage has emerged that showed Lola Young breaking down in tears after her performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball was hit with technical difficulties.

The singer, 24, had taken to the stage at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday, but was beset by sound issues that left her unable to hear through her earpiece.

Footage uploaded to TikTok showed an upset Lola backstage after the incident, crying into her hands before being comforted by a menber of her team.

When it came to Lola’s performance, the popstar’s ear piece stopped working, causing her to beg fans for help.

During her performance of Messy, the star said: ‘Sorry guys my ears are going in and out.’ before shouting out, ‘Can I get some new ears?’

As she tried her hardest to sing along to her own lyrics, she couldn’t keep in time with the band, so tried to power through, instead asking her fans to: ‘Sing along please’.

After a few attempts of trying to sing again, Lola was still struggling to hear, and said to the crowd: ‘It’s like they’re doing it on purpose’ before letting the song end and then walking off the stage.

Fans were quick to share their support for Lola, with comments including: ‘I really don’t see how people can hate on someone for this? It was a sound issue and the crowd loved her still, I feel bad for her but she was one of the best acts!’

‘I felt so bad for Lola Young. Her earpiece stopped working and everything so she came off crying.’

Some fans were also quick to slam organiser Capital, claiming the sound engineer was to blame for the sound problems.

One fan said: ‘People don’t forget Lola Young is just starting she is a young talented singer. Yesterday her ear monitor stopped working, this is not hers or her band’s fault at all! This is down to the sound engineer at the Capital Summertime Ball.

‘I do feel so sorry for Lola Young and my heart is with her and I hope that she is feeling okay. Capital should feel ashamed of yourself!!

It wasn’t just Lola’s performance which seemed to have problems. Zara Larsson’s mic dropped out during her time on stage and the live YouTube stream, was delayed by twenty minutes, meaning viewers were not up to speed with the performances.

Fans were less than impressed, taking to social media to fume their disappointment urging Capital ‘to do better’.

MailOnline has contacted Capital FM and Lola Young’s representative for comment. 

It’s not the first time Lola has had to deal with unexpected problems on stage, after her debut at Coachella festival earlier this year.

The singer suffered with the heat as she took unwell on stage and was forced to run off to vomit.

The musician took to Instagram a week after her performance to share a video montage of herself powering through the set in between gags before she ran off asking: ‘Can I get a bucket?’

Yet despite the wave of nausea and sickness she still pushed through and completed her performance.

As she tried her hardest to sing along to her own lyrics, Lola couldn’t keep in time with the band, so tried to power through, instead asking her fans to: ‘Sing along please’ 

Posting the series of clips from the set to her 1.4 million Instagram followers, she comically captioning the video: ‘Not me doing my first Coachella & gagging & throwing up all the way through the set.’

However, Lola didn’t let the illness defeat her, as another clip showed her returning to the stage and twerking, and was captioned: ‘And I’m back n twerking my way through the sickness.’

In the final clip, she jokes to the crowd: ‘That wouldn’t have been cute if I threw up.’

She humorously captioned it: ‘If ur coming today maybe it’ll be messier. Trying to hang in there with all my power.’

Sharing the montage, Lola admitted nerves may have gotten the best of her: ‘I was nervous guys and it was 40 bloody degrees.’
