Max George has issued a health update after undergoing a significant heart operation. After being hospitalised earlier this month having felt unwell, the singer updated fans on Instagram today (Saturday), revealing he's had a pacemaker fitted. "Pacemaker is in.
Operation took around 2 and half hours. The main issue being some of my veins had collapsed where the wires were meant to go...
But the surgeons and nurses at the NHS have been incredible. I owe everything to them. The surgeon kindly put my pacemaker just underneath a very special tattoo of mine..
So I'm sure it's being looked after," he said. He referred to his 'special tattoo' as the birthdate of Tom Parker, his late bandmate who passed away in 2022 after a brave fight against glioblastoma.
