George Strait has been making headlines despite not being in the public eye as much as he was during his record-smashing concert era. The biggest story swirling around Strait in recent days is the breaking of his U.S. concert attendance record. For over a year, Strait’s legendary 2024 show at Kyle Field in Texas was the largest ticketed event in American music history, drawing a massive 110,905 fans.

News stories and fan accounts across platforms like Instagram and Twitter continue to mention Strait in every conversation about stadium tours, with thousands reminiscing about his iconic “Amarillo By Morning” performance and the unique energy he brought to his shows.

Speculation and rumor have also nudged up in recent days. DM Team UK addressed new internet rumors about Strait’s health and confirmed that while he did have recent wrist surgery and thanked fans for their support, there has been no confirmation whatsoever of a heart attack, nor is there evidence of any serious health crisis affecting the star. Strait appears to be recovering well and is expected to be active in the months ahead, with fans expressing relief and good wishes through social media posts.

Beyond records and health rumors, Strait’s impact continued with the “Salute to the Stars” tribute concert held on September 24.
