The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran has shared the heartfelt promise he made to his bandmate Tom Parker before Tom’s tragic passing. The music industry was deeply saddened by Tom’s death at the age of 33 in 2022 due to a brain tumor, a condition he had bravely spoken about since his diagnosis nearly five years earlier.
Siva, age 36, revealed that he pledged to continue spreading awareness about Tom’s battle with glioblastoma, emphasizing Tom’s love for his family and fans. Describing Tom as a “brother,” Siva expressed his commitment to preserving Tom’s legacy and ensuring that his story lives on.
Following Tom’s death, Siva has collaborated with GenesisCare, a private cancer care provider, to honor his promise. Tom’s widow, Kelsey Parker, has also emphasized the importance of keeping Tom’s memory alive and continuing his legacy, even as she moves forward with her new partner, Will Lindsay.
In memory of Tom, an annual charity football match has been established to raise funds for brain tumor awareness and support through Ahead of the Game, the charity that supported Tom and his family during his illness. Kelsey expressed gratitude for the ongoing support for the event and highlighted its significance in raising awareness and funds for brain tumor research.
