A close friend told the paper: “You might have thought Tom would opt for something by The Wanted but Oasis’ Live Forever sums him up perfectly – he was a rockstar and that’s how he wants to be remembered.
“It’s a real anthem to strength and defiance and some of the lyrics really speak to his struggle.

Tom’s final appearance with The Wanted
Tom was given just 18 months to live after he was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in 2020.
The popular singer took on several rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions.
Tom was able to perform one last time with his bandmates, and his final appearance on stage was in Liverpool this month.
He was seen on stage in a wheelchair as a result of becoming too weak to walk.
Tom’s bandmate Max George paid tribute to him after the final show, calling Tom a “hero”.
