Shymansky alluded that Young’s cnacelation could be tied to her mental health, which he said the star has been “very open about.”

“There are [occasionally] days where myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe,” he added. “She is an incredible person and always takes her fans, career and performances seriously. I can only send huge apologies for the inconvenience caused.”

Young, an English singer, is best known for her 2024 hit “Messy.” She has released three albums — 2023’s My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely, 2024’s This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway and I’m Only F—— Myself, which was released on Sept. 19.

In 2022, Young opened up about her mental health and living with schizoaffective disorder, which she was diagnosed with at 17, in a candid Instagram post.

“I cant find the words to describe how much this diagnosis has affected my entire life, and my outlook on the world around me. I have struggled immensely learning to accept this part of myself, and I am still learning,” she wrote at the time.

Young added, “I have to remind myself that I am a regular f—— person, I am human and I am, like everyone, capable of incredible things, my mental health condition does not define me. It is my superpower,” and also said she goes through “crazy f—— highs and immense lows,” and that she was on medication to help with the symptoms.
