Max George, the 36-year-old pop star and former member of The Wanted, recently shared some concerning news with his fans. He revealed that he will be undergoing heart surgery sooner than expected, despite initially being told that he would have to spend Christmas in the hospital.
In a post on Instagram, Max explained that he had been feeling unwell and was admitted to the hospital. After some tests, he was informed that he has a blockage in his heart. While waiting for confirmation of the necessary procedure, Max expressed his hope for a pacemaker, a device used to treat certain heart conditions.
In his latest update, Max shared that he had a full CT scan on his heart, which he described as an experience he wouldn't choose to repeat. In a previous clip, he had mentioned that his heart rate was dropping as low as 35, and he now revealed that he has a 2:1 block in his heart. Unfortunately, his heart rate has not improved in the past week, and doctors have informed him that he needs surgery sooner than expected.
Despite the scary situation, there is some positive news. Max's doctors have told him that he may be able to go home for Christmas. In his post, he thanked his fans for their support and shared pictures from a recent "day trip" to have his scan done. He also mentioned his girlfriend, Maisie Smith, who has been by his side throughout this ordeal.
In his first candid post about his heart issues, Max had mentioned that he would have to undergo more tests to determine the extent of the problem and the necessary procedure. He acknowledged that the coming weeks and months would be difficult, especially since he had planned to spend Christmas with his loved ones and not in a hospital bed. But despite the setbacks, he remained optimistic and grateful for the support he has received from his family, friends, and fans.
Max's mother, Barbara, recently gave an interview, saying that her son is being well taken care of in the hospital. She shared that Max was admitted to a hospital in Manchester and has undergone various tests to determine the best course of action. Barbara also mentioned that Max is grateful for the well-wishes from his fans and has the support of his loved ones.
This is not the first time Max has faced health issues. In March, he had to pull out of a stage role due to unforeseen medical reasons. Then, in September, The Wanted had to cancel some tour dates without giving a reason. Max joined the group in 2009 after his previous group disbanded. He rose to fame alongside Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker, and Nathan Sykes.
Sadly, Tom Parker passed away earlier this year at the age of 33 from a brain tumor, leaving behind a wife and two children. Max and the rest of The Wanted have been dealing with the loss while also supporting their friend through his health struggles.
As Max continues to update his fans on his condition, we can all send him our love and support during this difficult time.
