The Wanted's Max George to Undergo Urgent Heart Surgery

The 36-year-old singer was diagnosed with a 2:1 heart block and may require a pacemaker or defibrillator after a sudden hospitalization.

Max George, member of the British boyband The Wanted, revealed he needs heart surgery sooner than doctors initially anticipated after being diagnosed with a 2:1 heart block.
A 2:1 heart block disrupts the electrical signals between the upper and lower chambers of the heart, causing an abnormally slow or irregular heartbeat.
George has been hospitalized since last week and underwent a CT scan to determine the severity of the condition and potential treatments, including a pacemaker or defibrillator.
He expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from fans, family, and friends, which he said has been a source of strength during this challenging time.
The singer, who hopes to recover in time for Christmas, rose to fame with The Wanted in the early 2010s and recently relaunched as a duo with bandmate Siva Kaneswaran.
