Max George, a member of the popular band The Wanted, recently shared some personal news about his health. He revealed that he had to undergo a second heart surgery, after already having a pacemaker fitted in December. The singer, 36, was rushed to the hospital in Manchester just before Christmas in 2024, and had the pacemaker fitted. This came as a shock to Max, who had just returned from a month-long tour of the USA with his band and was staying with his mother, Babs, 63, in Manchester.
Max credits his mother with saving his life, as she was the one who noticed something was wrong when he woke up feeling cold and with blue hands. Despite being initially sent home by their GP, a doctor friend advised Max to go to the hospital, where he was told he needed a pacemaker due to a "block" in his heart. The first surgery was a success and Max thought he was on the road to recovery. However, he soon began to experience a shaking and fluttering sensation in his chest that gradually worsened.
Fearing for his health, Max underwent a second surgery on January 15. Despite his worries about potentially bleeding out, the surgery was a success and Max is grateful to be on the other side of such a scary ordeal. Throughout this experience, his girlfriend Maisie Smith, 23, has been by his side. The couple met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 and began dating two years later.
After his first surgery, Max shared an update with his followers, showing a photo of his scar above a tattoo of his late bandmate Tom Parker's birthday. Tom passed away in 2022 at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with brain cancer. In the caption, Max expressed his gratitude for the NHS and the incredible surgeons and nurses who helped him. He also mentioned that he still has some tests to undergo for inflamed lymph nodes on his lungs, but is confident it will be easy work.
Max is now focused on resting and recovering before tackling life once again. He thanks his fans for their support, which has meant a lot to him and his family.
