Lola Young Leaves Stage in Tears Amid Technical Issues at Capital Summertime Ball

Capital’s Summertime Ball got off to a tricky start with the all-star concert blighted by technical difficulties.

The annual music event took place on Sunday at Wembley Arena in London, with a slew of the world’s favourite singing stars in attendance, including Lola Young.

But when it came to her performance, the popstar’s ear piece stopped working, causing her to walk off the stage after just two songs.

During her performance of Messy Lola, 24, 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, she still couldn’t 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, appearing to be in tears. 

Whilst it is unknown if her set finished early, Eurovision’s Remember Monday then came on to sing their aptly named song, What The Hell Just Happened?

And 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’.   

One penned: ‘i feel so bad for lola young, capital do better #CapitalSTB’

‘Bring Lola Young back #messy #capitalsummertimeball #capital #CapitalFMsSummertimeBall #CapitalSTB #bringlolayoungbacknowpls’

‘I feel so sorry for these artists because w*f are these technical difficulties today?! :// you’re at Wembley stadium and have had months to prepare for this ffs #CapitalFMsSummertimeBall’

‘i feel so so so so bad for lola omg #CapitalFMsSummertimeBall’ 

‘good for lola young..her in ears stopped working. deadass sprant back to the band so she could hear them playing and she’s actually got an insanely good voice.. those belts… okay diva i’m listening… #CapitalSTB’ 

‘Whoa, Lola Young calling out sabotage on her live vocals at Summertime Ball? That’s some serious tea! Any details on what happened or who she’s pointing the finger at? #CapitalSTB #LolaYoung’

‘WHY IS THIS STREAM 20 MINUTES BEHIND. lola young’s set being a disaster and then now i have to wait to watch reneé’s set when it’s happening right now???’

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.

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.’
