Tom Parker from The Wanted is bravely dealing with his illness … confined for a time to a wheelchair after undergoing treatment for brain cancer.
His bandmate, Max George, posted this pic of Max Friday in a wheelchair. Max captioned the pic of Tom, who looked chill, “I mean … com on, ending with a heart-eyes emoji.”
Max was diagnosed back in October, 2020, with stage 4 glioblastoma. Last year he say the cancer is being held at bay.
Tom had been getting treatments in Spain at a clinic that specializes in this type of cancer. The treatment lasted 3 weeks, and he was able to re-join the band last month in an emotional reunion. He also appeared on stage at a UK concert and performed on a gold throne!Taking to Instagram on Wednesday,
Max posted some pics of Tom after his return from Spain.
The Wanted has really stepped up … pledging that one pound for every ticket sold will go to brain cancer research.
Good on The Wanted, and the best to Tom.
