After a battle with brain cancer first diagnosed in October 2020, Parker, who was a member of The Wanted, died on March 30, his wife Kelsey Hardwick confirmed in a statement. He was 33 years old. “It is with a heavy heart that we confirm that Tom died peacefully earlier today with his entire family by his side,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Our hearts are broken, Tom was the center of our world and we can not imagine life without his infectious smile and active presence. We are truly grateful for the outpouring of love and support and we ask that we all unite to ensure “Tom’s light continues to shine on his beautiful children. I thank all those who supported his care throughout, he fought to the end. I’m forever proud of you.”
