The Wanted's Tom Parker has died after a battle with brain cancer. According to his wife, Tom died with his family by his side. Tom was the center of our world and we cannot imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence. We are thankful for the love and support and ask that we all unite to ensure that Tom's light continues to shine for his children. As we reported. Tom was confined to a wheelchair while undergoing cancer treatments at a clinic in Spain, which specializes in his particular type of brain cancer. Tom was able to rejoin the band in February after getting treatments for 3 weeks, and he also appeared on stage at a U.K. concert and performed from a gold throne. Tom dropped out of school to pursue his singing career after he learned to play the guitar when he was 16 years old. Tom is survived by his family, which includes two children, 2-year-old Aurelia and 1-year-old Bodhi. He was young. I am sad.
