Tom Parker from The Wanted has died at the age of just 33, after battling a terminal brain tumour.
In 2020 , Tom revealed news of his diagnosis but vowed to fight it all the way, alongside wife Kelsey, who broke the devastating news of his passing. She told The Sun: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side.
"Our hearts are broken. Tom was the centre of our world and we can’t imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence.
"We are truly thankful for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we all unite to ensure Tom’s light continues to shine for his beautiful children."

Tom recently reunited with The Wanted for their arena tour and, while he missed the first few dates, due to receiving cancer treatment in Spain, he appeared on stage at a number of the gigs, including an emotional final show in Liverpool less than two weeks ago.
After The Wanted scored huge chart hits between 2010 and 2014, including number 1s All Time Low and Glad You Came, Tom went onto tour the UK as Danny Zuko in Grease.
Reacting to the tragic news, one fan wrote: "Tom Parker- You were a LEGEND of your time." with a second responding: "Can’t even put into words how much my heart hurts right now. RIP Tom Parker. Thanks for all the memories."
Midway through The Wanted's recent concert in Newcastle, Tom's bandmates halted proceedings to pay tribute to him as cheers and applause sounded out around the Utilita Arena.
