The Wanted’s Max George reveals he is back in hospital following major heart surgery as he shares health update with fans

Max George announced on Instagram Friday that he’s back in the hospital because of a health issue, after recently having heart surgery.

In December 2024, singer Max George, 37, received a pacemaker after his mother, Babs, noticed he had become visibly unwell and urged him to seek immediate medical attention at the emergency room.

He needed another surgery to correct a misplaced wire and has been sharing updates with his followers about his ongoing hospital checkups.

But now he has revealed that he has had to return to hospital for a scan.

Posting on his Stories, the musician shared a clip waiting outside an X-ray area in a hospital.

He captioned the upload: ‘Another scan…’ and then followed it up with an update on his visit.

He was walking through the hospital hallways and mentioned, ‘I’m back at the hospital where I had all my heart surgeries.’

‘I can’t say it’s good to be back, because it’s not.

I recently had a chest scan because doctors noticed a small problem with one of my lungs. It should be nothing serious, though.

Just being careful, but I’m back at my other place. He finished his message with a thumbs-up and wished everyone a good weekend.

Maisie Smith, Max George’s girlfriend, recently shared that they’ve become even closer in the year since his heart surgery.

The 24-year-old former EastEnders star recently shared that a year ago, after her partner had a life-saving operation, they were completely uncertain about the future.

After nearly a year, she says their connection is even stronger now, and she’s rediscovered her love for him.

The couple recently appeared together in a stage production of Jeff Wayne’s ‘The War of the Worlds’ in March, where they played a married couple.

Last year, Max toured the United States with his bandmate Siva Kaneswaran as part of The Wanted’s 2.0 Tour.

Maisie shared that her friend is recovering from a recent health issue, having both good days and bad, but is generally getting stronger and it’s wonderful to see him back to performing.

She shared that he’s doing great. Considering no one knew what the future held a year ago, it’s wonderful to see him pursuing his passion.

Maisie shared that she went to New York to see her boyfriend perform, and it felt good to watch him succeed after a difficult year.
