The Wanted's Tom Parker Bravely Fighting Brain Cancer in Wheelchair
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 Tom Friday in a wheelchair. Max captioned the pic of Tom, who looked chill, "I mean ... come on๐."
Tom 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 rejoin the band last month in an emotional reunion. He also appeared on stage at a U.K. concert and performed on a gold throne!
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.
