The Wanted's Tom Parker died with 'perfect' song playing as tribute to his attitude
"You might have thought Tom would opt for something by The Wanted but Oasis' Live Forever sums him up perfectly - he was a rockstar," a source revealed.The 1994 hit, which had been released when Tom was merely five years old, was a representation of how he felt about life.The source elaborated that the track was "a real anthem to strength and defiance" and portrayed "how he wants to be remembered".Finally, they added to The Sun: "Like the track says, Tom really will live forever in his children, his fans and his music."His passion for life prevailed until the end, with Tom even appearing on stage with his group, with whom he has been performing since 2009, in the lead-up to his death.His final performance had taken place on March 17th in Liverpool, barely two weeks before the tragedy.The increasingly frail star had been too weak to sing the words to his best known hits, but was delighted to be onstage with his bandmates in a throwback to the good old days.He instead received help from his band and the audience as the visibly emotional vocalist mouthed along with the words.Sadly one of Tom's eyes was forced shut at his final performance due to the progression of his tumour, but he was determined to continue, simply wearing sunglasses to disguise it.It had been reported that his health and strength had drastically deteriorated during the final days of his life, but that he had no regrets as he was simply glad to be performing - the activity he'd always loved best.Tom left behind family including his wife Kelsey Hardwick and two young children, daughter Aurelia and son Bodhi.Yesterday his devastated spouse had taken to Instagram to announce his death."It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away
