Tom Parker's widow Kelsey has called for more funding into brain tumour research in the UK. She said many families are "clutching at straws" and travelling abroad for alternative treatments.
The Wanted singer Tom died at a hospice near the couple's south-east London home on March 30 after being diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma. He was just 33.
Kelsey appeared on BBC Breakfast to discuss how they had visited a clinic in Spain in a bid to prolong his life by exploring options outside chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She said: "When we were in treatment I used to speak to people all the time – different families, children who have got brain tumours, other husbands, other wives – and it is just the same thing. Everyone has to go abroad.
