'Unbelievably tragic' Tributes paid to The Wanted's Tom Parker after he dies at 33

Tributes have been paid tonight to The Wanted's Tom Parker after his wife announced that he has died at 33. Kelsey Parker posted confirming the death at 5pm, saying "our hearts are broken".

She ended her statement: "He fought until the very end. I’m forever proud of you." Tom, who grew up in Bolton, announced in October 2020 that he had been diagnosed with an inoperable grade 4 tumour.

Celebrities have been paying their respects to Tom online and remembering his best moments. The tributes come from all quarters, including other popstars and TV hosts and even celebrities who Tom worked alongside to raise charity funds for cancer treatment.
