British singer Tom Parker of The Wanted died on Wednesday aged 33 from a brain tumor, the band announced.
The Wanted, formed in 2009, made a name for itself internationally in 2012 with the song “Glad You Came”, which totaled more than half a million plays on Spotify.
The singer of the group had revealed his illness in October 2020. He had sung on stage with his group at the start of the year.
In a message posted on their Instagram account, the group said they were “devastated by the tragic and untimely death” of Tom Parker.
“Tom was an amazing husband to Kelsey, and father to Aurelia and Bodhi,” the band added. “He was our brother, words cannot express the loss and sadness we feel. Forever in our hearts.”
