The Wanted's Tom Parker too weak to sing in heartbreaking footage of final performance two weeks ago

Heartbreaking footage has been released of Tom Parker's final ever performance with The Wanted. The singer, who tragically passed away aged 33 on March 30, joined his bandmates on stage in Liverpool on March 17 for what was unbeknownst to be the last time before his devastating death.

Despite battling a brain tumour, Tom delighted The Wanted fans by appearing alongside the band in Liverpool two weeks ago during their Greatest Hits tour, where the band reunited after a seven year touring hiatus.

During the group's performance of hit songs Glad You Came and Gold Forever at the M&S Bank Arena, Tom sat on a throne on a raised platform. As his illness meant he was too weak to sing to the audience, his bandmates rallied around him with Siva Kaneswaran, 33, picking up his vocals while Nathan Sykes, 28, never left his side and filmed what would be their last moment together on stage.
