Max George is set to face more medical intervention as he has said a lung biopsy could shed light on the heart problems that led to him having a pacemaker fitted.
After suddenly feeling unwell in December, the 36-year-old singer was taken to hospital where doctors discovered a "block" – meaning his heart was beating with an abnormal rhythm.
Max, who said he was far far the youngest patient on the ward during his time in hospital, said: "If I could go from being absolutely on top of the world to being told ‘the bottom part of your heart isn’t working’, I kept thinking in my head, ‘Well, what if the top half stops working overnight?'" Now, Max is set to undergo a fresh procedure which involves a small piece of lung tissue being removed and sent to a laboratory to be examined and checked for abnormal cells, according to the NHS.
He told The Sun: "The doctors have discovered enlarged lymph nodes on my lungs. This could be a sign of what caused my heart problems.
