March 30, 20223 yr This really stings. The fact that they pretty much reunited to support him and give him a chance to go on tour again and do what he loved doing.....and then he has to miss the gigs because he went abroad for treatment and then he returns and dies anyway. Just f***ing cruel. That's a wife without a husband and two young children without a father. He seemed like a great laugh and his bravery was an inspiration to many. I actually really liked him in The Wanted and his middle 8 in Gold Forever about butterflies meant to fly is really poignant now. RIP Tom.
March 30, 20223 yr Terribly sad news :( He was very brave, and I’m glad he got to go out on stage with The Wanted during their recent tour. Rest in peace :(
March 30, 20223 yr Heartbroken by this. I followed his story since the beginning and had hope he might somehow pull through it. He was an absolute beacon of strength and positivity, what a guy.
March 30, 20223 yr This is has come as a shock to me, I thought he was getting better. RIP :( , The Wanted have some very good songs and I am glad that Tom Parker got a chance to go out on stage with the band during their recent live tour.
March 30, 20223 yr Heartbreaking news for his family. He had been doing so well and fought the battle so bravely. RIP Tom.
March 30, 20223 yr This particularly stings for me since my friend has the same cancer that Tom has and also has a terminal diagnosis. Being a similar age to Tom and also having his own child it’s quite horrific knowing this is to come. 💔

March 31, 20223 yr This is has come as a shock to me, I thought he was getting better. RIP :( Glioblastoma is terminal, most patients only have a couple of years to live even with aggressive chemo.
March 31, 20223 yr Sadly so. It’s a really cruel thing. I know a friend who has made it 5 years since he found out he had it and has been told he’s among the longest surviving patients they’ve seen post diagnosis.
April 1, 20223 yr Sadly so. It’s a really cruel thing. I know a friend who has made it 5 years since he found out he had it and has been told he’s among the longest surviving patients they’ve seen post diagnosis. That is amazing, my friend is approaching two years and every day I wonder how much longer, it’s really heartbreaking 💔
April 1, 20223 yr Re-watching him on tour the other week is such a powerful thing to watch. Like, I can't even comprehend how emotional that must have been for him. Can you imagine knowing you've got a terminal illness and your health is rapidly declining and being on stage with thousands of people watching you and cheering you, seeing your bandmates jump around happy and full of life, knowing that everyone in that room is aware you're dying and yet still having to sing along to songs from happier times 10 years ago? The strength of that guy.

April 2, 20223 yr 5 years is rare, your friend is incredibly lucky! I’m not sure lucky is the right word here.
