Max George to Undergo Emergency Heart Surgery

Max George, the 36-year-old singer from The Wanted, is preparing for emergency heart surgery due to a 2:1 atrioventricular block, a condition where electrical impulses are delayed or blocked. He expressed feeling unwell and was hospitalized last week after doctors discovered the issue when his heart rate failed to improve over several days. George shared updates on Instagram, stating that he is humbled by the support from fans and family, and he hopes to be home for Christmas after the surgery. His girlfriend, Maisie Smith, has been supporting him during this difficult time, although she is also managing her commitments in a pantomime. Despite his past struggles with alcohol, George clarified that it is not a factor in his current health issues, which remain a mystery. He conveyed a sense of optimism amidst the uncertainty surrounding his condition.
