Max George's Tom Parker tribute sees The Wanted star open up on being 'heartbroken beyond words'

Max George has opened up about being 'heartbroken beyond words' over the death of bandmate Tom Parker, who died this week at the age of just 33.

Tom revealed nearly two years ago that he had been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, vowing to fight it all the way. And, just two weeks ago, Tom joined Max and their other Wanted bandmates Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuinness and Siva Kaneswaran on stage for the final few shows of the group's reunion tour.

The last date in Liverpool was a very emotional one for the band and their fans as Tom appeared for the encore, sat on a throne as his bandmates performed Glad You Came and Gold Forever, which soared to the top of the iTunes chart in the wake of Tom's death. After the tour finished, Max paid tribute to Tom telling he 'you did it!' as he celebrated being able to share the stage with him again.
