MAX George has revealed he will undergo emergency heart surgery.
The 36-year-old singer and actor took to social media to update fans with a photo of himself surrounded by wires and medical equipment while giving a thumbs-up.
Max was admitted to hospital last week with heart issues and has been undergoing tests as doctors investigate what’s wrong.
In his latest post, The Wanted singer explained that a recent CT scan showed concerning results.
He said: “Had a little day trip today. Full cat scan on my heart. Not something I’d choose to do again!”
Max went on to share that he has been diagnosed with a 2:1 heart block, a condition where the heart’s electrical signals are disrupted.
He added his heart rate has remained stubbornly low for almost a week.
“Unfortunately my heart rate hasn’t picked up at all in almost a week,” he wrote.
“Because of this, we don’t have too much time to wait, so it looks like I’m going to be in surgery way quicker than the doctors first thought. I may even be home for Christmas!”
Max admitted the situation has been frightening, particularly over the past few nights.
“Still a pretty scary time right now and the last few nights have been really rough, but I wanted to say that I’m absolutely humbled by all your messages of support,” he added.
“Both people I know and those I don’t. It’s given me a much-needed boost and my family have been overwhelmed with support, which means more to me than anything.”
Fans and well-wishers flooded his post with messages of support, hoping for a speedy recovery as Max prepares for surgery.
One of his followers shared: “You’re so strong and amazing Max I believe you will be just fine. That’s the inner Manc in you sending you all the love and positivity.”
