Max George worried fans after sharing a picture of his bruised and swollen eye - which he later deleted.
The Wanted singer, 35, said he had a tough week just like his favourite football team Manchester City. On Sunday, he took to his Instagram page to share a close-up picture of his injured face. His left eye was swollen and bruised and he had gauze strips covering his eyelid.
"How it feels to be a city fan. Tough week. So proud of our boys. What character," he captioned the now-deleted image. Manchester City were said to have faced unacceptable playing conditions which their manager Pep Guardiola compared to a 'punch in the face'. Mirror Online have contacted Max's representatives for comment.
At the end of March, Max took to his social media page to share a tribute to his late pal Tom Parker on the two-year anniversary of his death.
Max George shared an emotional tribute to his best friend and bandmate Tom Parker on the second anniversary of his death. Tom tragically passed away at the age of 33 from brain cancer on 30th March 2022. The Bolton-born singer had been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour called glioblastoma multiforme two years before his passing.
On the anniversary, Max shared an unseen snap of the two having a little sleepover while on their final tour together. The two looked cosy as they shared a bed. He wrote in the caption: "2 years without you my brother. Still doesn’t feel real. Found these today... our last sleepover. I’ll cherish it forever."
He also shared a clip from the evening, adding: "Well, it's been a while since we did this. George and Parker sleepover." He turned his phone to show Tom laughing next to him as he quipped: "Don't hump my leg in the middle of the night like you used to, right. We've got over that." Fans were left emotional following the post, as one said: "Still to this day doesn’t seem real . He was definitely a legend of his time sending you all my love." Another added: "He is missed every day, there isn't a day that goes by and we don't think about him."
Someone else commented: "Brothers for life. Sending love today and always max." A fourth shared: "Tom's departure was and always will be a hard fact to believe that it happened. It's something particularly that I never got used to. Today is a very difficult day because it is the anniversary of your physical departure from the world, but you will always be remembered."
