Max George kept a low profile as he headed to Manchester on Friday following his recent health update.

The Wanted singer, 36, was fitted with a pacemaker after being hospitalized in December for an undisclosed heart condition.

After a lengthy stay, he was discharged on Christmas Day and spent the holidays with his girlfriend Maisie Smith before visiting his mother Barbara in Salford, Greater Manchester.

For his latest outing, Max kept his look casual with a black North Face vest over a black sweater, paired with khaki green cargo pants.

He completed the ensemble with Nike sneakers and a cozy black beanie as he walked to his car.

It comes after George shared an insight into his grueling recovery following his shock heart surgery late last year.

The musician shared a video on Instagram on Wednesday of himself walking slowly on the treadmill as he works to regain his fitness after surgery.

Max appeared cheerfully and turned to give the camera a thumbs up.

The star feared he would spend Christmas in hospital but was able to return home where he was reunited with his girlfriend Maisie Smith.

At the end of the year, Max wrote with a reflective post on Instagram: ‘2024.. Definitely a year I won’t forget!

‘I’m so lucky to have the life I have. I can’t wait for the next chapter, whatever challenges lie ahead.”

Meanwhile, the star also revealed that he experienced a ‘flickering sensation’ in his chest after his surgery.

In his Instagram Stories on New Year’s Eve, Max revealed that he had a strange feeling in his chest and that doctors aren’t sure what it is yet.

The star asked his followers if they have ever experienced the same thing as he sought advice ahead of a check-up.

In his video he said: ‘I’m at the hospital tomorrow for another check-up because I’m getting a shaking feeling on the left side of my chest. Actually, I get it now.

‘I was wondering if you guys knew what it could be or if you’ve experienced it yourself, because the doctors aren’t so sure.

“Maybe it touches a nerve and it goes away over time, or maybe they have to move a wire a little bit, but I’m all ears because all I do is research.

‘I don’t know anything about pacemakers. Any information I could get would be greatly appreciated.”

It comes after Max said he has taken his first steps outside since the ordeal, posting a photo of himself on a late-night dog walk with his beloved pit bull Albert.

He also uploaded an image from his Apple Watch, showing his heart rate of 85 bpm.

He captioned the photos: “Back on the streets… It felt amazing taking my first few steps outside… especially with my beautiful boy.”

WHAT IS A PACEMAKER?

A pacemaker is a small battery-powered device that prevents the heart from beating too slowly.

It requires surgery to install it and is usually performed under local anesthesia

According to the British Heart Foundation, around 50,000 people in Britain get a pacemaker every year
