Max George reveals his emergency heart surgery is imminent as he updates fans from hospital bed
MAX George has given worried fans an update about his fast-approaching emergency heart surgery.
Pop star Max appeared low as he told followers how he was doing in the concerning video posted on social media.
The deflated star can be seen lying in his hospital bed gearing up for the life-changing medical intervention.
He explained: “Just prepping for the operation now.
“I feel like s*** – but fingers crossed.”
The Wanted singer, 36, was initially rushed into hospital after he felt unwell – before he revealed to fans he had to stay in due to cardiac issues.
He’s now preparing for a serious operation after his condition failed to improve.
Max was admitted to hospital recently with heart issues and has been undergoing tests as doctors investigate what’s wrong.
In a recent post, he explained that a CT scan showed concerning results.
He said: “Had a little day trip today. Full cat scan on my heart. Not something I’d choose to do again!”
Max went on to share that he has been diagnosed with a 2:1 heart block, a condition where the heart’s electrical signals are disrupted.
He added his heart rate has remained stubbornly low for almost a week.
“Unfortunately my heart rate hasn’t picked up at all in almost a week,” he wrote.
“Because of this, we don’t have too much time to wait, so it looks like I’m going to be in surgery way quicker than the doctors first thought. I may even be home for Christmas!”
Former EastEnders star girlfriend Maisie Smith, 23, shared a sweet snap of her visiting her man in hospital during the week.
She took a break from her current pantomime stint to visit him in hospital.
The actress posted a tender picture showing the pair holding hands.
The famous couple have been together since 2022 after meeting on the set of Strictly Come Dancing two years before.
She previously shared a cute message to her boyfriend and wrote: “Love you Max.”
After his emergency operation, Max has told fans he may need a pacemaker – and Maisie is clearly on-hand to support him through it all.
Max, who has ditched booze after previous liver problems, saw his heart rate dramatically drop last week.
He told how he will need to be fitted with a pacemaker device to help stabilise it.
The Gold Forever singer previously said of his diagnosis: “We have cancelled out a few things like alcohol for example. I have not had a drink for four and a half years, so it isn’t that.”
Max’s shock hospital admission comes two years after his Wanted bandmate and best pal Tom Parker died of brain cancer aged just 33.
