Boyband singer Tom Parker who died from a brain tumour was remembered at a research centre where scientists are striving to find a cure for the devastating disease which ripped him from his family.

Noreen Parker’s son, Tom, from The Wanted, died on March 30 of last year, aged just 33, following a battle with brain cancer.

The father-of-two, who was married to Kelsey Hardwick, was diagnosed after suffering a seizure in October 2022 with a glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumour which has an average survival prognosis of 12 – 18 months.

Tragically, Tom died just 17 months after diagnosis.
