Tributes to The Wanted singer Tom Parker have been pouring in as the 33-year-old was laid to rest having died from an inoperable brain tumour. His band mates, including Nottinghamshire's own Jay McGuiness, carried his coffin to his final resting place at Saint Francis of Assisi Parish Church in south-east London.
Tom had been one of five members of popular boyband The Wanted. He died on Wednesday, March 30, having announced in October 2020 that he had been diagnosed with an inoperable grade 4 tumour.
He had only just performed at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham on March 11 as part of The Wanted's Greatest Hits tour and it took place for the band's highly-anticipated reunion. Tom's widow Kelsey Hardwick invited fans to line the route as his close family and friends headed to the church in Queensway, Petts Wood, in south-east London, on Wednesday morning (April 20).
