Lola Young walks off stage in tears as Capital Summertime Ball is blighted by technical difficulties
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'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 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' 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 'i feel so so so so bad for lola omg #CapitalFMsSummertimeBall' 'good for lola 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.' It's not the first time Lola has had to deal with unexpected things on stage, after her debut at Coachella festival earlier this year 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.'

The Scottish Sun were first to report on the council documents that described Oasis fans as mainly 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room' adding there were concerns 'about the safety of the Fringe and its performers'. The safety briefing notes added: 'There is concern about crowds ... as they are already rowdy ... and the tone of the band.' The documents also warned of 'medium to high intoxication' and a 'substantial amount of older fans'.

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has criticised the City of Edinburgh Council after safety briefing papers appeared to label fans of the band as overweight, old and 'rowdy'. | AFP via Getty Images Oasis are set to play three sold out gigs at Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12 with tens of thousands of fans attending each performance. The summer dates will go ahead when the capital is already packed with residents and tourists during the Edinburgh festival period. Reacting to the news, Liam Gallagher wrote on social media: 'To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about OASIS fans and quite frankly your attitude f***ing stinks I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Britpop legend later added: 'I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council bet there's some real STUNING individuals.' David Walker, 44, from the Oasis Collectors Group, told the Scottish Sun: 'To call fans drunk, middle-aged and fat is a nasty, sneering stereotype — it's a jaundiced view. 'People want to have a great time. If reports of councillors' drunken parties are anything to go by, they'd be better keeping their opinions to themselves. "The fanbase has changed a lot - there's a new generation of young fans for a start, and parents are wanting to introduce their kids to Oasis for the first time.

The return of Oasis will be hugely exciting for the city - everyone just needs to roll with it." Edinburgh culture convener Margaret Graham said: 'We're very proud to host the biggest and best events in Edinburgh throughout the year, which bring in hundreds of millions of pounds to the local economy and provide unparalleled entertainment for our residents and visitors. 'As with any major event which takes place in the city, we prepare extensively alongside our partners to ensure the safety and best possible experience of everyone involved – and Oasis are no different. No two events are the same in terms of requirements or planning and our multi-agency approach reflects this appropriately. 'We're also working closely with residents in the local area to make sure these concerts pass off as smoothly as possible. Over the past few years, we've hosted many similar events and managed to strike the right balance between communicating well with residents and fulfilling the needs of major events and I have no doubt we can do so once again. We always look to learn lessons from previous years to update and improve on our plans. 'We're all looking forward to seeing Oasis take to the stage this August and I'm sure that they'll 'live forever' as some of the most memorable concerts ever performed at Murrayfield.'
