Ford told PEOPLE he was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis in 2022, and was already in the process of losing weight, getting down to 250, at the time of the heart attack. Ford said his doctor told him, “I have no idea how you survived,” after the heart attack. The singer said he is now down to 190 pounds thanks in part to his new diet.
