Tom Parker Cause Of Death

Tom Parker, a member of the boy band “The Wanted,” has died of brain tumour. He was aged 33.

Parker’s death came two years after he was diagnosed “with stage four glioblastoma.”

Parker’s wife, Kelsey, who confirmed his death in an Instagram post on March 30, 2022, wrote:

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side.

“Our hearts are broken, Tom was the centre of our world and we can’t imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence.

“We are truly thankful for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we all unite to ensure Tom’s light continues to shine for his beautiful children. Thank you to everyone who has supported in his care throughout, he fought until the very end. I’m forever proud of you ❤️💫✨❤️

Parker spoke about the brain tumor diagnosis before his death:

“The doctors pulled the curtain around my bed and said, ‘It’s a brain tumour. I was in shock. It’s stage four glioblastoma and they’ve said it’s terminal. It was a lot to deal with by myself. I still haven’t processed it.”

Parker and his wife “were parents to daughter Aurelia Rose, 2½, and son Bodhi Thomas, 17 months.”

In 2021, Parker talked about his brain tumor in a UK documentary, according to People, which quoted him as saying,

“What do I want from the future? More time with my kids. More time with my wife. More time with life. And I feel like that’s going to happen. I’ve got that positive outlook on life. And I think when you take strength and courage from other people around you, that really helps.”

In 2020, BBC reported that Parker’s brain tumor was “inoperable.” According to BBC, Parker was shocked by the diagnosis, saying, “I knew something wasn’t right, but I never expected it to be this.”

Parker became famous as part of “The Wanted” in the early 2010s. The band is known for the songs “All Time Low” and “Glad You Came.” BBC reported that he also toured with “Grease” and was on Celebrity Masterchef.
