How The Wanted star Tom Parker found out about his brain tumour after having a seizure
31.03.2022 - 01:05 / ok.co.uk
Tom Parker revealed he'd been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour back in 2020, after suffering a severe seizure while away with his family. The 33 year old tragically passed away on Wednesday 30 March, with his beloved wife Kelsey, 32, taking to Instagram to announce the sad news. Kelsey, who shares Aurelia, two, and one year old Bodhi with Tom, wrote: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side.
"Our hearts are broken, Tom was the centre of our world and we can’t imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence." Tom first suffered a seizure in July 2020, and after taking himself to A&E he was put on a waiting list for an MRI scan.

Once the paramedics had arrived, he was taken straight to the hospital for an MRI, and while he was initially told he'd be in the hospital for four hours, he ended up spending three days there having numerous different tests.
Due to the coronavirus restrictions that were in place at the time, Tom was given his heartbreaking diagnosis alone, while Kelsey was told over the phone. Speaking to OK! about being told the awful news, Tom said: "A couple of days later, when we were still on holiday, Kelsey couldn’t come in because of Covid. "They pulled the curtain around my bed and said, “It’s a brain tumour.” All I could think was, “F*****g hell!” I was in shock.
