Lola Young walks off stage in tears as Capital Summertime Ball is 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.'

Alex Jones reveals she was completely unaware about complaints made against her The One Show co-host Jermaine Jenas
Alex Jones has revealed she was completely unaware about complaints made against her The One Show co-host Jermaine Jenas. Jenas, 42, was taken off the show after being fired by the BBC for sending inappropriate messages to female employees during his time at the corporation. The sexting scandal also cost Jenas his 13-year marriage after his wife Ellie, the mother of three of his four children, announced the pair were divorcing earlier in March. Someone who was oblivious to the complaints was Welsh presenter Alex, who used to host The One Show alongside Jenas. Speaking to The Big Issue, she said: 'I very much take people on face value. But with JJ I didn't know what was going on. I thought he was taking extended leave. 'If that was my daughter and she felt uncomfortable with someone's behaviour, I hope that whatever company she was working for would deal with it swiftly as well.' Jenas, who also has a daughter from a previous relationship, was sacked by the BBC in August, which resulted in him losing his hosting gig on The One Show and punditry work on both Match of the Day and 5 Live. The BBC confirmed their decision while he was on air guest hosting talkSPORT's drive time show. His agency MC Saatchi also cut ties with him before he brought in a crisis PR team to handle the aftermath of the scandal. Jenas revealed he lied to wife Ellie during a family holiday in order to sneak off and take a Zoom call with BBC bosses after news of his X-rated messages was first revealed within the broadcaster. And he also told how she had kicked him out of their £1million home in Hertfordshire after he admitted sending inappropriate messages to two female colleagues. Speaking to the Filthy Rellas podcast last month, Jenas claimed historical problems within the relationship also contributed to the break up. He said: 'The reality is, me and my wife haven't split up because I sent some text messages to some people at work. 'We had issues for a period of time, it all comes to a head and you eventually make a decision to say, as adults, we will be better parents for our children if we just remain friends and that's it. 'We had 16 amazing years together, me and my wife, how many people last that long? Sixteen years. Ups and downs. She caught the wrong end of my [playing] career, bless her.' During an interview with The Sun shortly after he was sacked by the BBC, Jenas admitted his wife was 'raging' over the incident. He said: 'We've not really spoken properly since. She's absolutely raging.' Jenas continued: 'It's just about the children right now. It's the school holidays and they're trapped in the house because photographers are outside my house. 'They're like, 'What's going on, Daddy?'. It's tough.' He added: 'I've got to take responsibility and I've apologised to all of them. 'I don't know what to say about that, to be honest with you. It's just hard at home for the kids right now. My wife's a real one 'My wife is solid and she's amazing. She is kind. She just needs some time.' Jenas bombarded a woman working at the World Cup in Qatar two years ago with unwanted messages asking 'You want my boy now?' During the interview, Jenas insisted Ellie should not fear more women coming out of the woodwork with tales of further inappropriate behaviour. However, weeks after the scandal broke, MailOnline revealed Jenas bombarded a woman working at the World Cup in Qatar two years ago with unwanted messages asking 'You want my boy now?' before sending her a picture of his manhood, despite her making clear she was not interested in his advances. The following week, we also told how he repeatedly pestered a junior make-up artist for sex - and when she told him she had a boyfriend replied: 'Just come to my dressing room early and I'll [perform a sex act] on u… that's not cheating.' That incident took place when he was working for BT Sport in 2017, where he was a rising star as a football pundit.

Eagle-eyed fans spot what Chloe Kelly was doing in hilarious Lionesses celebration photo after Euro 2025 win
PENALTY hero Chloe Kelly was the heart and soul of England's celebrations following the Lionesses dramatic Euro 2025 final victory over Spain. Kelly, 27, kept her cool to slot home the decisive penalty as England retained their title as European champions via a shootout on a historic night in Basel. 4 4 The Arsenal winger had cropped up off the bench when needed throughout the tournament, making her influence known and adding yet another decisive Euros goal to her growing list of career highlights. Kelly understandably had plenty to celebrate as she sang, danced and skipped her way across the pitch in the aftermath to the full-time whistle. However some England fans joked that she was getting a little carried away when a hilarious team photo surfaced seemingly showing her taking a nibble at a teammate's arm. A celebratory selfie snapped by veteran star Lucy Bronze, and uploaded to the Lionesses X account, looked to show Kelly munching on the elbow of substitute goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse. Noticing that the Orlando Pride stopper appeared to have Kelly biting down on her arm, one England fan online joked: "Whose arm is Chloe Kelly munching on?" While another added: " Chloe Kelly looks like she's trying to eat someone's elbow". And a fourth teased: "Chloe Kelly is getting hungry". 4 In reality it seemed to just be an unfortunate angle, with Kelly actually celebrating with another teammate behind Moorhouse. The former Man City forward was the definition of a supersub, coming on for an injured Lauren James at the end of the first half and going on to set up Alessia Russo 's equalising goal and netting the deciding spot kick. Kelly had similar influences from the bench in the Lionesses' dramatic semi-final and quarter-final victories over Italy and Sweden. Speaking after her confidently dispatched penalty, Kelly had no doubt she was going to score having had to rely on a rebounded miss for her winner against Italy earlier in the week. She told the BBC: "I was cool. I was composed. "And I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. I don't miss penalties twice". She added: "The celebrations are going to be crazy. I hope the whole of England comes out to support us and shows the love to all these girls, because they deserve it." The Lionesses made history by becoming the first England side across both the men's and women's game to win a major tournament on foreign soil. While boss Sarina Wiegman added a third consecutive Euros title to her trophy cabinet, her second with the Lionesses after initially tasting success as Holland boss in 2017.
