Tom Parker really did have so much love and support surrounding him during his cancer battle.
An excerpt of The Wanted star’s upcoming memoir Hope: My Inspirational Life was released by The Sun on Saturday and it reveals one of the ways Ed Sheeran went above and beyond to help the 33-year-old following his cancer diagnosis.
The singer sadly passed away in March following a nearly two-year battle with an inoperable brain tumor known as glioblastoma. He was diagnosed in October 2020 when his wife was pregnant with their second child. Obviously, a shocking and terrifying situation to be in, but thankfully he had friends reaching out to him in droves, including the English singer-songwriter.

By November 2021, his tumor was “under control,” proving that hope in such a bleak situation was possible. But, unfortunately, the cancer soon returned and he ultimately passed away earlier this year.
