The Wanted's Tom Parker reveals terminal brain cancer diagnosis: 'Still in shock'
The English musician, who shared the news on Instagram and in an interview with OK! Magazine, said he was"still in shock" at the news after he was hospitalized with two seizures over the summer.
Parker opened up about his diagnosis after addressing his weeks-long absence from social media. “Hey guys, you know that we’ve both been quiet on social media for a few weeks and it’s time to tell you why. There’s no easy way to say this but I’ve sadly been diagnosed with a brain tumor and I’m already undergoing treatment."
In that interview, which also published Monday, Parker shared how he is"still in shock" after getting the news, which he received on his own due to COVID-19 restrictions. The diagnosis came six weeks ago, after he went to the hospital following a second seizure this summer. "I knew something wasn't right, but I never expected it to be this," the 32-year-old musician told the UK magazine.
In his Instagram post, the singer said that he and those around him are"absolutely devastated but we are gonna fight this all the way."
