The Wanted's Tom Parker dead at 33 from brain tumour

The member of a well known band has died after a fight with a terminal illness. Wanted singer Tom Parker has died at the age of 33 on Wednesday March 30 after a battle with terminal brain cancer glioblastoma.

As reported by the Mirror the singer was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour while his wife Kelsey was pregnant with their second child. The dad-of-two previously told OK! Magazine how his diagnosis didn’t feel real, explaining: "I knew something wasn’t right, but I never expected it to be this. You never think this will happen to you."

Recently, Tom had become so weak he needed to use a wheelchair. Bandmate Max George heaped praise on him as he shared a snap of Tom in his chair.
