Tom Parker, The Wanted Singer Diagnosed With Terminal Brain Cancer

The Wanted bandmates had a very difficult time processing the news about Tom, he said, "Obviously all the boys were as shocked as we were. They are gutted by the news, but they've been incredibly supportive.

We were in bits together."

Max is happy to be giving Tom something to be excited about as well, he said in the interview, "I spoke to him yesterday and he's doing good, he's doing great."

You got this my man."
