Max George Opens Up About Second Heart Operation and Life-Threatening Risks

The Wanted star Max George has revealed that he had to undergo a second heart operation after receiving a pacemaker—and while doctors warned him of the risk of bleeding out, he says that wasn’t even the worst part of the ordeal.

The singer, 35, known for hits like Glad You Came, has spoken candidly about his serious health scare and the challenges he faced throughout the process. According to Max, the decision to have a second operation was not taken lightly, as doctors were clear about the significant risks involved, including potential fatal bleeding.

However, despite the dangers of the procedure, Max insists that the most difficult aspect was not the operation itself but the mental and emotional toll it took on him. “The physical side of things is tough, but mentally, it’s a whole different battle,” he admitted in a recent interview.

Max first had a pacemaker fitted after experiencing heart complications, and though the procedure initially helped regulate his condition, it soon became apparent that further intervention was needed. “I thought the first surgery would be the end of it, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case,” he shared.

Despite the hardships, Max remains optimistic and is determined to move forward with his life and career. “It’s been a tough journey, but I feel incredibly lucky to still be here. My fans and loved ones have been an amazing support system,” he said.

As he continues to recover, Max hopes to raise awareness about heart health and the importance of recognizing early warning signs. His experience serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges many people face with heart conditions—both physically and emotionally.

Fans have flooded social media with messages of support for the singer, who remains committed to his music and advocacy work despite the challenges he has faced. “Life throws things at you that you don’t expect, but it’s all about how you get through it,” Max concluded.
