Max George is forced to cancel The Wanted 2.0's upcoming Manchester gig after his second heart operation


The singer, 36, and his bandmate Siva Kaneswaren were due to perform on February 27 but have been forced to cancel in the wake of Max's second heart operation.

He recalled how he relaxed by listening to Oasis during the op, with the music helping transport him into his 'own world' and forget his fears for the operation, amid previous worries that he'd 'bleed out'. Though the procedure was a success, Max's health woes continued as medics soon discovered he had developed enlarged lymph nodes on his lungs that required treatment. Heart inflammation is uncommon in pro athletes who've had a mild COVID-19 infection and most don't need to be sidelined, according to a 2021 study conducted by major professional sports leagues.
