Speaking to The Sun On Sunday, George said: “I thought I was on the road to recovery but when I was told I needed a second operation I was nervous, as pulling the pacemaker wires out of the heart wall risks bleeding on the heart.
The Wanted singer Max George has revealed he had a second operation weeks after getting fitted with a pacemaker after it caused a “flickering sensation” in his chest.
He added: “I was trying to get back to good health but was still having a flickering sensation for weeks after I had my pacemaker fitted and it was gradually getting worse and worse.
He said he was not allowed to listen to music during the first operation, when he had the pacemaker fitted, but was able to during the second.
George previously revealed he would be having a lung biopsy, a procedure that involves a small piece of lung tissue being removed and sent to a laboratory to be examined and checked for abnormal cells, according to the NHS.
