Kelsey Parker ‘can’t listen’ to The Wanted songs following her husband Tom’s tragic death

Kelsey Parker opens up about what life has been like since the death of her husband, The Wanted's Tom Parker. The singer died earlier this year aged 33 after being diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2020.

In new ITVX documentary series, Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, the 32-year-old widow discusses how life has changed for her and her two children. In emotional scenes, Kelsey describes how she can no longer listen to The Wanted's music, despite calling her late husband's voice "unreal".

She reveals: "I can't even listen to The Wanted songs. I can't do it and the kids want to play Glad You Came all the time and I go, 'No, Glad You Came is banned'." Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes were in the band with Tom.
