Max George returns to hospital after second heart surgery as he shares update
Singer Max George has shared an update with fans just months after announcing that he had heart surgery for a second time. He revealed this morning that he has returned to hospital, with him sharing a photo from the visit.
Max, 36, had a pacemaker fitted in December after sharing with fans that he had a 'block' in his heart. The Wanted member then revealed in February that he had a second surgery after having "physical symptoms" in his chest.
He has kept fans updated throughout the experience through posts on social media, like over his return to work. It included Max joining his partner Maisie Smith on the UK tour for Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds earlier this year.
Max has now shared another update on Instagram. This morning, he shared a photo from the Cardiology & Chest Clinic at an undisclosed hospital. It showed an empty corridor outside the clinic and Max didn't write a caption.
He has previously spoken about having check-ups after having his pacemaker fitted last year. Max told fans shortly after the initial procedure in December: "I'm in the hospital tomorrow for another check-up because I've been getting this like flicking feeling in the left hand side of my chest."
Max asked fans if they had any experience with the symptom. He also said: "Maybe it's touching a nerve and it will go away in time, or they may have to move the wires slightly but I'm all ears because all I'm doing at the moment is y'know doing research and stuff cause I know nothing about pacemakers."
His first pacemaker surgery came just just weeks after he had announced that doctors had found "issues" with his heart. Max had previously shared with his followers: "I felt really unwell and was taken in to hospital. Unfortunately after some tests they've found that I have some issues with my heart."
He revealed that he had the pacemaker fitted weeks later. Max said in a post on Instagram at the time: "Pacemaker is in. Operation took around 2 and a half hours. The main issue being some of my veins had collapsed where the wires were meant to go ... but I'm hoping everything turns out ok."
After subsequent updates, Max shared in February that he had his second procedure. He said: "A few weeks ago I had to go back into hospital after having some physical symptoms in my chest. It turned out that one of the leads was placed too far into my heart. The second pacemaker surgery took about 2 hours."
Max added: "It's been a setback, but it's just one of those things. I've had a few complications the last couple of months but I'm having loads of tests to make sure everything is all good. It could take a few weeks / months for the inflammation of my heart to subside, but I'm sure I'll be back on top form in no time."
The following month, just days before posting about going "back to work," Max said that he was feeling "stronger". He wrote in a post that was uploaded in March: "Round 2 seems a distance memory ... feeling so much stronger every day!"
