The “Messy” singer confirmed that she is “back and feeling better” during her performance at Spotify's Best New Artist Party in Los Angeles on Thursday, USA Today reports. The star-studded event marked Young’s first major performance since the incident. **

"I haven't performed since September, so this is a very, very special moment for me," Young told the audience, per the outlet. “Thank you to everyone who makes performing feel like this.”

Young was in the middle of performing at the All Things Go music festival in New York City last September when she suffered an unspecified medical emergency and collapsed onstage. She issued a statement on her Instagram Story later that evening confirming to fans that she was “doing okay now” after the incident, which required her to be carried offstage by medical personnel.

However, three days later, Young announced in a subsequent Instagram post that she would be cancelling all of her future performances and going "away for a while." She added, “I really hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had some time to work on myself and come back stronger.”

Young reconnected with her fans again in December, thanking them for giving her the “time and space to gather myself and get my head in a better place.” **

She continued, “I am hoping to gradually get back to performing and continuing pursuing my dreams.”
