It was revealed tonight that the singer has died after a heartbreaking battle with brain cancer.

The 33-year-old tragically leaves behind children Aurelia, two, and Bodhi, one, as well as his wife Kelsey.

Kelsey’s last post to Tom was a picture of him seated on a throne surrounded by Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes.

Kelsey wrote: “That’s my husband You’ve made us so proud. Love you @tomparkerofficial.”

She announced the sad news in a post on Instagram today alongside a black and white portrait of the star.

Kelsey wrote: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side.

“Our hearts are broken, Tom was the centre of our world and we can’t imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence.

“We are truly thankful for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we all unite to ensure Tom’s light continues to shine for his beautiful children.

“Thank you to everyone who has supported in his care throughout, he fought until the very end. I’m forever proud of you .”

The star was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in 2020 and given just 18 months to live.

But brave Tom beat the odds after undergoing several gruelling rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions.

Just last week Tom announced he had written a heartbreaking book about his battle.

He told fans: “My book is not about dying: It’s a book about living. It’s a book about finding hope in whatever situation you’re dealt, and living your best life no matter what.”

Tom revealed in October 2020 that he had an inoperable stage 4 glioblastoma – which doctors described as “the worst case scenario”.

The star had been undergoing treatment in Spain that meant he was forced to pull out of the start of the boyband’s UK tour.

But he did make an appearance at the later dates where he performed while sitting on a throne.

Before the end of each show, his bandmates Max George, Nathan Sykes, Siva Kaneswaran and Jay McGuinness welcomed him to the stage.

Nathan, 28, told the crowd: “Give it up for Tom Parker” as the crowd erupted in rapturous applause.
