- Singer Max George was hospitalised in December 2024 after doctors discovered a 2:1 block on his heart, leading to an urgent pacemaker fitting.
- His heart rate was dangerously low at 24 beats per minute, and he described the experience as a "shock" and at times like "torture".
- George has since recovered, returning to perform with The Wanted2.0 last year, and views the experience as a "blessing in ways" due to the opportunity to help others.
- He is now actively supporting a new campaign by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) to increase public understanding of heart conditions.
