Lola Young

Lola Young is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Croydon, South London. She gained prominence after winning the Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance for her song "Messy" in 2026. Young's success is part of a broader trend of British artists, particularly those with roots in the Brit School, achieving international recognition. However, recent news also highlights challenges she has faced. In late September 2025, Young cancelled her tour after collapsing on stage during a New York concert, citing struggles with addiction. She has since addressed her recovery, expressing hope for a second chance to return to performing stronger. Despite these personal difficulties, her Grammy win underscores her talent and potential within the pop music landscape.
