The 36-year-old is set to undergo major surgery after doctors found “issues” with his heart.
Max said in the Instagram video: “So I think they’re officially trying to kill me off because Manchester City are…”
After panning from the TV screen showing football pundit Rio Ferdinand, he then cut off and shook his head.
Slurring Max then added: “Come on boys.”
The singer did a big sigh before saying: “We better win on Sunday.”
Max told fans the devastating news yesterday, but kept upbeat by saying he felt “lucky” the issue was discovered when it was.
He posted online: “Hey everyone. Yesterday I felt really unwell and was taken in to hospital.
“Unfortunately after some tests they’ve found that I have some issues with my heart.”
The TV star, who is dating EastEnders actress Maisie Smith, said he would need surgery before he returns home.
“I have a lot more tests to determine the extent of the problems and what surgery I will need to get me back on my feet,” he went on to say.
Update from Max George after The Wanted singer revealed he is in hospital
Max explained that he would be remaining in hospital over the festive period – but was thankful for the support of his girlfriend and family.
Maisie and Max both competed in Strictly Come Dancing 2020 and became good friends while on the show.
In the summer of 2022, they became a romantic item and they moved in together last year.
Maisie waved Essex goodbye and relocated to Manchester to be with Max and they began renovating their own home together.
There is a 13-year age gap between the pair but they have always been too loved up to pay attention to any criticism surrounding it.
Maisie has supported Max through losing his best friend and bandmate Tom Parker died of brain cancer aged just 33.
