Max George, the 37-year-old singer from The Wanted, has been readmitted to hospital for a scan following complications from his heart surgery. The star underwent major heart surgery in late 2024 for a heart block and later received a pacemaker, followed by a second procedure to correct a misplaced wire.
Sharing an update on Instagram Stories, George posted a clip of himself outside an x-ray area, captioning it: "Another scan..." He later explained that he had a scan on his chest due to an issue with one of his lungs. "I've just had a scan done on my chest because I've had a bit of an issue with one of my lung apparently," he said. "Should be fine. It's just a precaution."
George described returning to the hospital where he had his heart surgeries as "not good," adding: "I can't say it's good to be back, because it's not." He signed off by giving a thumbs up and wishing his followers a good weekend.
The singer has faced multiple health challenges since his initial diagnosis. In November 2024, he was rushed to hospital with an arrhythmia, describing the experience as "scary." He explained that the top half of his heart was beating at 50 beats per minute while the bottom was at 160, requiring medication to stabilise his condition.
George has also spoken about adjusting to life with a pacemaker, noting that he must be careful with exercise and avoid activities like football and skiing to prevent damaging the device. "It is what it is, you have to get on with it," he said, reflecting on the sudden onset of his heart issues.
