He has been keeping fans in the loop

Max George has been keeping fans regularly updated following his heart surgery. And just last night (December 22), he faced a new “issue” in hospital.

The Wanted singer was admitted to hospital on December 12, sharing he was suffering from “heart complications“.

Since then he has kept his followers in the loop, and recently revealed he had to get a pacemaker put in.

While he was initially expected to be in hospital over Christmas, his surgery was brought forward as an emergency. As a result, it took place over the weekend.

Last night, Max once again took to Instagram to tell fans about his latest day in hospital. But it wasn’t all good.

On Saturday he revealed he had successfully had his pacemaker fitted as he showed off his scar on his collarbone.

However, last night, Max flooded his hospital room, which caused a whole new complication for the star.

On his Instagram Story, Max sounded very weak after his surgery. But he powered through to make sure his fans heard the latest.

He said: “Just got out of bed then; 2am it is. My feet just went into about a foot of water. I left my sink on and it blocked.”

Max then showed off a different hospital room. He continued: “So I’ve got a nice new gaff. It’s pretty sound.”

Fans have been hoping Max would be out for Christmas, so the latest update isn’t exactly the one they were wanting. But at least he seemed to be in good spirits about it all.

Max had to get a pacemaker fitted

He shared an image of the scar on Saturday, following the procedure. He wrote: “Say hello to my little friend! Given the last 10 days, this is the best Christmas present I could’ve ever wished for.”

Max acknowledged that while the operation went well, there was an “issue” when some of veins collapsed in the same area the wires were meant to go.

However, he credits the hospital staff who “have been incredible”. The pacemaker itself was “kindly” put underneath a “very special tattoo” on his chest, so that he is “sure it’s being looked after”.

He continued: “Just a few more tests to do due to inflamed lymph nodes on my lungs. But that will be easy work! Time to rest and then tackle life full on once again.”

The tattoo Max is referring to is a tribute to his late bandmate Tom Parker, who died in 2022 following a battle with brain cancer.
