Aston's hospitalisation comes just days after he and his bandmates made a surprise appearance at Capital FM's Summertime Ball on Saturday, sending Wembley Stadium into shock when they appeared on stage.

The band joined the likes of Dasha, Benson Boone, Mariah Carey and JADE for the star-studded event. Screams and cheers erupted throughout Wembley Stadium as they took to the stage.

JLS performed a setlist of four of their hit songs, including The Club Is Alive, Beat Again, She Makes Me Wanna and Everybody In Love.

The group spoke of their excitement at playing Summertime Ball on their official Instagram page. "What an incredible 360 experience it was being back on the Wembley stage for the Capital Summertime Ball! AND WHAT A MOMENT!!" they wrote.

"Thank you once again to @capitalofficial and @barclaycarduk for having us. Bring on The Club Is Alive Tour 2025!!!" Fans were over the moon with the surprise performance.

One user wrote in the comment section: "Best surprise ever !!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS," and another posted: "I ran from toilet because i heard the club is alive starting, been to see you three times before and you deliver every time!!"

"Wish I could have been there @jlsofficial," one said and another commented: "Still can’t believe it [crying emojis] Best surprise of all time."

Meanwhile, in November, JLS – Aston, Marvin Humes, Oritsé Williams and JB Gill – are due to set out on their eighth arena tour, playing 16 UK dates.

Aston said in a recent chat with The Mirror: “The crowd are going to know every one of our songs – it’s going to be electric.”
