Tom Parker's widow Kelsey says he promised to 'send signs' to her after his death

Tom Parker 's widow Kelsey revealed he promised to 'send her signs' every day after his death.

The Wanted singer died in March at the age of 33 after an almost two-year battle with an inoperable brain cancer called glioblastoma.

Close friends and family were at the hospice to support him when he passed away. Live Forever by Oasis was also playing in the background during his last moments.

Explaining the sign she received, Kelsey said: "I was sitting there on this bench, crying, when I looked up and this feather fell down from the sky.

"I said to Tom before he passed away, ‘Will you give me signs every day’, and he said, ‘Yes’. I knew straight away it was him."

She added to The Sun on Sunday : "I kept that feather, I still have it in a little glass pot on my dressing table.”

Tom's funeral was on April 20 and fans were invited to watch the service and pay their tributes to the singer.

Kelsey had the congregation in tears with her brave and emotional eulogy.

In a pre-recorded message, Kelsey said Tom had 'taught their children how to be brave' in a tribute that left Tom's family and friends visibly moved.

Kelsey said she and 'soulmate' Tom 'lived a 1000 lives' in their 13 years together, adding that The Wanted star would still be alive if 'love alone could have saved him.'

Tom tragically 18 months after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, leaving behind his wife Kelsey and their two young children.

In her final goodbye to her husband, Kelsey shared: "You’ve shown our children how to be brave, courageous and strong.

"[The children] will always know how much you loved them. And let’s be honest, they now have the best guardian angel looking over them through life and so have I.

“We will carry on your legacy forever.

“I just want to thank Noreen and Nigel (Tom’s parents) for raising the man I fell in love with and bringing him into the world because he is my world. Soulmates ... that is what we are. You were my best friend but more."
