Max George has revealed he will have urgent heart surgery today after being rushed to A&E last week. The 36-year-old The Wanted singer looked weak as he posted a video to his Instagram stories. Giving worried fans an update, he said: "Just prepping for the operation now, I feel like s**t, but fingers crossed.".
Sharing more news about his health condition a few days ago, Max told his 383,000 followers that doctors have found he has a 'block' in his heart. And he could need a pacemaker fitted to fix a problem with the lower part of his heart. He explained: "I have a 2:1 block in my heart. Unfortunately my heart rate hasn't picked up at all in almost a week. 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!".
"The last few nights have been really rough, but I wanted to say that I'm absolutely humbled by all your messages of support. 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," he continued.
In the past, Max admitted he has had 'serious issues' with alcohol. But it doesn't appear to be the cause of his illness as he said: "We've cancelled out a few things, like alcohol for example. I've not had a drink for four-and-a -half years, so it's not that.".
