Low-key, witty singer of the Wanted who found a post-boyband career in reality TV and the vlogosphere.

“We were happiest when we were on stage, [but] it was all this shit with politics, the record label and too many opinions that caused friction,” he said in 2018. During that year, he kept his hand in by appearing as featured vocalist on the track Fireflies by the former N-Dubz rapper Richard Rawson, but by the time he was ready to fully relaunch, he had missed the golden hour when being an ex-member of the Wanted might have ignited interest. Parker later claimed that when he joined the Wanted, “pop music wasn’t even on my radar”, but in reality it had been for several years. In the singer Tom Parker’s judgment, their time at the top had been “like Beatlemania”, but that was an overestimate. Life in the Wanted, whom he joined after beating 1,000 other hopefuls at an audition in 2009, had been constrictive.

The Wanted pop star and father-of-two was told he had stage four glioblastoma in September 2020, six weeks after he started suffering seizures.

Tom said he hoped to help increase funding for treatment and research by speaking out about his own experience. Senator John McCain was diagnosed with one in July 2017. Glioblastoma has a notoriously poor prognosis, with patients usually only living for 12 to 18 months after a diagnosis. Last October he performed with The Wanted for the first time in seven year at a star-studded charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of brain cancer research. 'I never met Tom, but was touched at how, in the face of his own diagnosis and treatment, he bravely used his platform to raise vital awareness of brain tumours. Speaking in October last year, Tom said he was shocked by the lack of investment in GMB treatment in the UK. The tumor is made up of a mass of cells growing quickly in the brain, and in most cases patients have no family history of the disease. Dr Babcar Cisse, a neurosurgeon at the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, told Daily Mail Online in July 2017: 'By the time a glioblastoma is diagnosed, microfibers can spread to the rest of the brain which an MRI would not spot.
