Tom Parker, a member of the U.K. boy band The Wanted, has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. The 32-year-old singer shared the sad news with fans on social media. “There’s no easy way to say this but I’ve sadly been diagnosed with a brain tumour and I’m already undergoing treatment,” he wrote. Parker and wife Kelsey Hardwick are parents to daughter Aurelia, 16 months. The actress is pregnant with their second child. “We are all absolutely devastated but we are gonna fight this all the way,” he continued. “We don’t want your sadness, we just want love and positivity and together we will raise awareness of this terrible disease and look for all available treatment options. It’s gonna be a tough battle but with everyone’s love and support we are going to beat this.” In an interview with OK! magazine, Parker explained he was diagnosed six weeks ago with stage-4 glioblastoma, an aggressive type of cancer. He said he’s “still in shock.” Parker is one of six singers in The Wanted. The group is best known for its 2012 pop hit “Glad You Came.” The British-Irish boy band, once managed by Scooter Braun, went on hiatus in 2014 after five years together. Parker’s bandmate Max George reacted to the news on Monday. (SD-Agencies) |
