The widow of The Wanted front man, Tom Parker, said he 'needed' his band to reunite in order to feel 'strength' as his battle with glioblastoma reached its final stages. The singer died in March aged just 33, and was first diagnosed with the deadly brain disease in October 2020 when doctors gave him 12 months to live.
Mum-of-two Kelsey said Tom referred to bandmates Jay McGuinness, Max George, Nathan Sykes and Siva Kaneswaran as his 'brothers' and it was hugely important for her late husband for the group to reform. They had previously planned a 10th anniversary comeback tour in 2020 after a six-year hiatus, until the Covid-19 pandemic intervened.
They were then stunned by Tom's devastating news which led to all plans being put on hold indefinitely, reports the Mirror.
