Kelsey Parker begins 'year of firsts' as she shares special nod to Tom at friend's wedding

Kelsey Parker has opened up about starting her 'year of firsts' as she attended her first wedding without her husband Tom. The Wanted singer tragically died, aged 33, in March 17 months after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.

The Bolton-born star shared the news of his diagnosis to fans in October 2020 when Kelsey was pregnant with their second child, Bodhi, who is now one. The couple, who married in 2018, also shared two-year-old daughter, Aurelia. Kelsey announced the news of Tom's death before he was laid to rest in a celebration of life ceremony last month.

Tom was carried into the church by his The Wanted bandmates - Max George, Nathan Sykes, Siva Kaneswaran, and Jay McGuinness - with Max and Siva also standing up in the church to pay tribute to their 'brother'.
