MAX George has revealed he will undergo emergency heart surgery.

In his latest post, The Wanted singer explained that a recent 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!”.

Max admitted the situation has been frightening, particularly over the past few nights. “Still a pretty scary time right now and the last few nights have been really rough, but I wanted to say that I’m absolutely humbled by all your messages of support,” he added.

“Both people I know and those I don’t. It’s given me a much-needed boost and my family have been overwhelmed with support, which means more to me than anything.”. Fans and well-wishers flooded his post with messages of support, hoping for a speedy recovery as Max prepares for surgery.
