Kelsey Parker has said she wish she could 'chane the ending' of what should have been her fairytale with late husband Tom Parker as she followed in his footsteps. The 33-year-old marked the release of her first book this week, With or Without You, documenting the loss of her husband.
Tom died of a brain tumour last year. The singer, who shot to fame as part of boyband The Wanted, died on March 30, 2022, at the age of 33 after a battle with terminal brain cancer glioblastoma. He shared the news of his diagnosis with fans in October 2020 when Kelsey was pregnant with their second child, son Bodhi.
He then bravely shared living with the disease, even going on tour for the last time with his bandmates, before his tragic death. His book, My Inspirational Life, was then released posthumously two months later in which he shared his legacy, in his own words. Kelsey has now followed in his footsteps by releasing her own book, documenting her journey through grief and coming to terms with a life without Tom.

Following its release, Kesley took to Instagram and shared a picture of both of their books standing alongside one another. "I wish more than anything that these books were our journey but the story was different," the mum-of-two emotionally shared.
"A fairytale story with a happily ever after. It really was a fairytale with you Tom. Just wish I could change the ending," she continued before adding: "I hope you’re as proud of me as I am of you. Thank you for keeping me going."
And she was quickly flooded with supportive messages.
