Absolutely heartbreaking news. Tom Parker the singer from The Wanted has passed away aged 33 following his terminal Brain tumour diagnosis in 2020.

Absolutely gutted as they were one of my favourite bands growing up. 

Thoughts go out to his family.

    That’s so sad. His poor family.

    Chasing The Sun was an absolute banger.

    That is so very sad. Watched a programme on him, how he and his wife tried to deal with this awful situation and how he managed with the support of the band to get back on stage. Gone far too soon.

    RIP

    RIP, lost my old man and also a good friend to brain tumours (friend was only 24). My uncle also had one that was thankfully benign but still has to have regular checks so must be a worry for him.

    RIP. 

    ‘Glad You Came’ always reminds me of one of the lads holidays I went to about 10-12 years ago when we were about 21. Was on everywhere you went.

    RIP young fella.

    So sad for him and his young family.   My FIL passed away 5 years ago next month from a very late diagnosed brain tumour.  They seem far too common nowadays sadly.

    My daughter see them perform at the O2 only a couple of weeks ago. She told me he looked frail.
    It was amazing he was able to do that. Incredibly sad.

    Terrible news. I can't imagine how his family can come to terms with this. I have 2 sons 34 and 32 - the thought of having to bury one of them does not bear thinking about.

    The randomness of Life and death is so hard to fathom and how long nature will give us.

    Had no idea Tom and his Mrs Kelsey were Petts Woodians.
    My wife's friend popped in to see us today and she told us she's good friends with Kelsey as had some dealings with her dance school.
