US will give visa appointment priority to World Cup ticket holders

Travelers with tickets to the 2026 World Cup will be given priority visa appointment at US embassies, according to President Donald Trump.

Trump stated at the White House on Monday that the Fifa Prioritized Appointment Scheduling System (Pass) will “allow World Cup ticket holders with long wait times to opt with Fifa for a prioritized interview.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that no automatic tourist visa will be issued to those who register for the tournament, which is scheduled for June and July in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Rubio said, also on Monday at the White House, “Your ticket is not a visa, it doesn’t guarantee admission to the US.”

“We’re going to conduct the same kind of vetting as everyone else.” The only difference is that they are being moved higher in the queue.

Mexico and Canada will host the 2026 men’s World Cup on a co-hosted basis in North America, with the majority of matches taking place in the United States.

Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, stated in a statement in the Oval Office that up to 10 million people could visit the US to watch World Cup matches.

With this Fifa Pass, we can ensure that those who purchase a ticket, whether they are soccer fans or legitimate football fans, can attend the World Cup in the best conditions, starting with the application for their visa, he said.

Some nations’ national teams have lengthy waits for visa appointments while others have already qualified for the next year’s competition.

According to information released by the US State Department, the agency that reviews visa applications, people in Colombia are currently waiting around 11 months for an interview appointment.

While non-Canadian citizens living in Toronto can expect a 14-month wait for appointments, the average wait time in Mexico City is nine and a half months.

By the time fans from some nations have their visas approved, the World Cup will already be played and the golden trophy will already be awarded.

Not everyone who travels to the US in the upcoming year will require a visa. The majority of citizens in nations covered by the US waiver program are typically able to travel without a visa for up to 90 days. That approach, along with Japan, Australia, and other countries, covers a large portion of Europe, including the UK.

Max George rushed to hospital days before tour over heart issues

Singer Max George revealed that he was taken to a hospital and had heart scans just days before he began touring with The Wanted 2.0.

Max George claims that he was hospitalized twice in a single week. The Wanted singer had to have an MRI scan before going on an American tour with his bandmate Siva Kaneswaran.

The 36-year-old has been open about his health issues over the years after having heart issues that required pacemakers almost a year ago. He claims to have arrhythmias right now. An abnormal rhythm causes the heart to beat too quickly or slowly due to a signal disruption.

He shared images of himself lying on a stretcher before being injected with an MRI machine on social media. Two days before he and Siva, who play on stage as The Wanted 2.0, were scheduled to begin their tour of the United States, Max explained that he was admitted to the hospital.

He told his fans on social media that “it happened two days before our tour in America… and no, I didn’t go into space.” I had to have a full heart scan after being admitted to A&amp, E twice in a week due to arrhythmias.

“Thankfully, everything went as planned and I was given permission to return to the stage.” I was able to tour the US because I was so excited. There are so many more things planned for the upcoming year. Hopefully I won’t be doing this bushtucker trial for a while. It’s GRIM. “

His post, which has received over 8, 000 likes, received a lot of support messages. Glad everything went well and you were able to perform on stage, a fan said. You’re so brave Max, and I’m proud of you. I’m hoping to see you two soon, Max.

Another third continued, “There always seems hope at the end of the tunnel.” You, Max, are more courageous and powerful than you think. You are the one who has this, if anyone has it. Keep being amazing, and most crucially, maintain your identity. I’m hoping to see you soon. “Another penned:” Max, I’m so happy to hear you’re doing well, it must be so frightful! In June, my hometown, I’ll see you. “I’m in a rush!”

Max’s girlfriend, Maisie Smith, revealed earlier this month that the singer still has hard days – despite his surgery after he “turned blue” last December. As Max’s health declined ahead of the Christmas period, he wrote a will on his iPhone.

” Yeah, it’s good. According to Maisie, “He’s getting better every single day.” She continued, “I mean, he was well enough to do this tour, which is amazing because obviously that’s what he wants to be doing.”

It’s nice to see him perform, and he still has “hard days” and “better days,” he said. Maisie says she’s happy to see Max perform his biggest hits, including All Time Low and Glad You Came, while Max is still recovering from his health issues.

Due to his ongoing health issues, he and Siva were forced to cancel a concert in Manchester, claiming that the rescheduled date would be announced when he became better.

Max said in a statement to The Sun on Sunday: “I initially believed I was on the right track to recovery, but when I was told I needed a second operation, I was concerned that pulling the pacemaker wires out of the heart wall would result in heart bleeding.” But I had no other options. It had to be completed by me.

Max continued, “I was trying to get back to good health, but it kept tingling for weeks after getting my pacemaker fitted, and it was gradually getting worse and worse. My heart was constantly causing a shock when my heart rate increased, which was making me jump. My chest was trembling.

Ozzy Osbourne’s cause of death as Jack bursts into tears in emotional admission

Ozzy Osbourne’s cause of death was revealed weeks after the Black Sabbath legend tragically died at his home surrounded by his relatives

Ozzy Osbourne’s cause of death was disclosed weeks after he died. The Black Sabbath icon died on July 22, at the age of 76, surrounded by his wife Sharon and their children.

In the years leading up to his death, Ozzy had been publicly battling health issues, but was determined to perform at Villa Park for his final gig just days before he died.

His death certificate revealed that the Prince of Darkness suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction (joint causes). His profession was noted as “rock legend, songwriter and performer.”

An acute myocardial infarction is a condition where the blood supply to the heart is blocked, often due to a blood clot, resulting in damage to the heart muscles. Symptoms can include chest pain, such as pressure, heaviness, tightness or squeezing, pain in other areas of the body like the arm, jaw, neck, back and stomach, lightheadedness, sweating, shortness of breath and feeling unwell. Air ambulance medics spent two hours trying to save Ozzy after they were dispatched to his home.

During Monday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Ozzy’s son, Jack, became emotional while speaking about his late father. Speaking to Lisa Riley, Jack said: “It was definitely a shock. I mean, we knew he was sick for a while, but it was definitely a shock, I mean, we didn’t know it would be that quick… It was the ultimate mic drop, he did a massive big gig and was like, ‘Alright, I’m done.'”

The tears started rolling when Emmerdale actress asked Jack what his father would think of him appearing on the ITV show. “He’d be so supportive of this,” he said while wiping away his tears.

While sitting in the Bush Telegraph, away from his campmates, Jack opened up on his grief, explaining: “I’m still navigating it all, it’s been three, nearly four months, and it’s still pretty fresh.”

Jack has the full blessing of his mum, Sharon, and sister, Kelly, to appear in the jungle – with the iconic family tuning in to watch him on the show. He confessed that leaving his family, who are still grieving, will be incredibly difficult for him. “It’s absolutely going to be hard leaving them behind,” Jack said.

He added: “I have got lots of kids, my wife, and my family still in the wake of my dad passing. It is going to be difficult, that is for sure. It’s not the longest amount of time I’ve been away from them. I’ve gone on different trips filming Adrenaline Junkie for nearly two months without a phone.

“I still had access to one, and I was able to make calls home. It’s going to be very difficult not speaking to my wife and kids. But yes, I do hope I can make my family proud.”

The reality star only signed on the dotted line just ten days before he jetted to Australia. However, he “definitely had to think” about whether he wanted to take part. He said: “It’s an absolute commitment, but the real reason why it is popular is people sit at home saying, ‘could I do that?’, so I think a lot of why I’ve said ‘yes’ is the intrigue and how would I survive that? I am very nervous though!”

Confirming that Ozzy had died in July, a statement from the family, released from his hometown, said: “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

Reflecting on his final performance, Ozzy’s Black Sabbath bandmate, Geezer Butler, described how the music legend was “frail” but “thrilled” to be able to perform for his devoted fans, who had remained loyal throughout his career.

A blood clot causes damage to the heart muscles, which frequently causes an acute myocardial infarction. The symptoms of chest pain include feeling sick, feeling swollen, or experiencing pain in other parts of the body, such as the arm, jaw, neck, back, and stomach, lightheadedness, sweating, shortness of breath, or feeling unwell.

“I was able to make calls home while still having access to one. It will be very difficult to avoid speaking with my wife and kids. I do hope to inspire my family, though.
