The Wanted singer had a pacemaker fitted back in December 2024

The Wanted singer Max George has revealed he’s been back in hospital as he continues to recover from multiple heart surgeries.

Max, 37, received a pacemaker in December 2024 after a heart block was discovered during emergency surgery.

Since then, he has been in and out of hospital for check ups. He also underwent a second operation when it was discovered his pacemaker wires were inserted too deeply and he started to experience pain.

Now, Max has shared that he’s been back to hospital, just days before heading to the States on tour.
