Max George Shares Heart Surgery Complications

Max George of The Wanted recently underwent major surgery to have a pacemaker fitted due to undiagnosed heart issues, which led to a hospital stay and a Christmas Day discharge. Despite returning home and enjoying outings with his dog, he reports experiencing an unusual 'flicking feeling' in his chest, prompting him to seek advice from fans as doctors are uncertain of the cause. The surgery, which lasted about two and a half hours, addressed a heart block, but some veins had collapsed, complicating the procedure. Max has been keeping fans updated on his recovery and expressed gratitude for their support, sharing that he feels 'battered and bruised' but is improving. He also reunited with his girlfriend and dog for the holidays, marking a significant step in his recovery journey.
