The Wanted's Siva Kaneswaran shares emotional tribute to bandmate Tom Parker after tragic death at 33

Siva Kaneswaran has shared his own personal tribute to his The Wanted bandmate Tom Parker following his tragic death, aged 33 - 17 months after he bravely announced he had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.

Tom's wife Kelsey confirmed the devastating news that the singer and dad-of-two had passed away on Wednesday afternoon (March 31). She said Tom, from Bolton, died surrounded by his family and bandmates after being diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma in October 2020.

His diagnosis came shortly before he and his wife Kelsey, who married in July 2018, welcomed their second child, a son named Bodhi in October 2020. They also have a daughter Aurelia who they welcomed in July 2019.
