The Wanted’s Max George Undergoes Second Heart Surgery Following Complications

The singer revealed he experienced severe symptoms after his initial pacemaker procedure, prompting a second operation and additional health concerns.

Max George, 36, underwent a second heart surgery after complications arose from a pacemaker procedure performed in December 2024.
Doctors discovered one of the pacemaker leads was positioned too deeply in his heart, causing physical symptoms such as chest flickering and shocks.
The January 15 surgery successfully corrected the issue, though George faced risks of bleeding and potential voice loss during the procedure.
Following the surgery, he returned to the hospital for a lung biopsy due to enlarged lymph nodes, which caused chest pain and a tough recovery, including coughing up blood.
George is now focused on recovery and has expressed gratitude for the support from fans, acknowledging it has been a challenging period.
