Musician revealed the latest update as doctors work to discover the cause of his heart problems. The Wanted singer Max George has shared that doctors are investigating enlarged lymph nodes in his lungs, in the latest update on his ongoing health ordeal.
The pop star has been candid with fans after undergoing heart surgery just before Christmas, when he had a pacemaker installed. He was admitted to hospital after feeling unwell in December, at which point doctors discovered a “block”, meaning his heart was beating with an abnormal rhythm.
After the pacemaker was fitted, George told fans that he was experiencing a strange “flicking” sensation, as he appealed for advice from anyone who had gone through similar. “This could be a sign of what caused my heart problems,” he said of the enlarged lymph nodes in his lungs.
“I’ve got to have a lung biopsy in a couple of weeks. It sounds pretty gnarly. It might tell us what the cause was.”. In the same interview, George confessed that he’d feared the recent Christmas could be his last, so had gone overboard on gifts for his loved ones.
“I thought it would be my last Christmas so I spent so much money,” he said, revealing he’d bought art for his girlfriend, 23-year-old EastEnders actor Maisie Smith. The operation to have his pacemaker installed took around two and a half hours, George told fans in an Instagram post last month, alongside a photo of the new scar above his heart.
