The Wanted star Max George, 36, reveals he will be spending Christmas in hospital to undergo heart surgery as he admits he’s ‘very lucky that this was caught when it was’
As someone who has battled my own demons with addiction and understands the struggles that come with it, I can only empathize with Max George’s current situation. It’s heartbreaking to hear about his health scare, especially during the holiday season when we all want to be surrounded by love and warmth.
Max George informed his followers that he’ll be celebrating Christmas in the hospital for a heart operation, as he shared on Thursday.
The singer from Wanter, aged 36, who has confronted past struggles with alcoholism, openly acknowledged his good fortune for early detection when he disclosed a surprising health crisis he experienced.
Max hasn’t disclosed what condition he is suffering with.
“Hello all, yesterday I wasn’t feeling well at all and had to go to the hospital. Sadly, some medical tests revealed that there are problems with my heart.
As a dedicated enthusiast, I’ve got a slew of examinations lined up to pinpoint the depth of these issues and figure out which surgical route is the key to getting me back on my two feet again.
Over the next while, things are looking challenging… And to be honest, I hadn’t anticipated spending Christmas in a hospital. However, despite this unexpected turn of events, I find myself surrounded by an abundance of love and support from my remarkable partner Maisie, her family, mine, and friends. Rest assured, I am completely in the right place under these circumstances.
Despite the massive surprise and undeniably a hurdle, I’m determined to face it head-on with everything I possess! I consider myself incredibly fortunate that this issue was identified early.
I want to apologize in advance for any frequent updates you might receive over the next few weeks. Due to my upcoming stay in bed, which is expected to last about a month, things might be a bit quiet on my end as there’s not an excessive amount of activities going on.
‘Let’s do this! Much love, Max x’
Over time, Max has been transparent about his struggle against excessive drinking and alcohol addiction. Previously, he confessed to consuming approximately ten pints and three bottles of wine within a single evening.
Previously, the performer disclosed that he employed alcohol as a means to cope with the glare of the limelight and alleviate his anxiety at its most intense level.
He mentioned an occasion where he drank ten pints and three bottles of wine during a birthday celebration.
That single spree approximately held about 38 standard units of alcohol, and it’s recommended by the NHS that both men and women shouldn’t exceed 14 units in an entire week.
During an interview on Channel 4’s Scared Of The Dark, he shared that he was usually intoxicated prior to our performances. He admitted finding it challenging to adjust, and as a coping mechanism, he would drink alcohol to help him appear unfazed by the situation.
Occasionally, it can be challenging to discern if it’s anxiety or depression I’m experiencing, but in my case, it was definitely leaning towards anxiety that manifested when the boys achieved number one with All Time Low.
Speaking about his excessive celebrations for his birthday, he admitted, “For about a week afterward, I fell sick. My physician examined my liver and found that the liver enzyme levels were quite low. Consequently, I decided to curb my activities related to my liver.
As a lifestyle advocate, I too found myself moved to make a change when I learned about my bandmate Tom’s battle with stage four glioblastoma. This heart-wrenching experience served as a powerful catalyst for me to reconsider my own habits and ultimately decide to stop drinking.
In a moment of vulnerability, I poured my heart out to Paul, confessing my struggle: “What’s your secret, man? It seems there’s no remedy for this affliction, so one simply learns to keep moving forward, doesn’t one? Yet, finding a way to truly cope… that remains elusive.
As a devoted follower, let me express it this way: I can’t seem to accept it, truth be told. One of the final things I shared with him was an expression of gratitude for elevating my life beyond what I could have ever imagined during our time in the band.
He was my dearest friend, oh dear me! I’m simply not keen for our friendship to feel like an obligation or something shared with others.
Previously, Max disclosed that being sober has brought a new clarity to his life, although it has left him feeling quite bored during weekends.
In March of the previous year, I shared that it had been 18 months since my last drink. People often ask me, with a hint of curiosity, “Don’t you think you feel much improved now?
On weekends, I’m simply feeling quite uninterested! Weekdays are routine and monotonous, but during the week, it’s simpler to maintain my fitness… So yes, things are quite straightforward for me now.
