Tom Parker, who lost his life to cancer today (Wednesday, March 30), was hailed a “true hero” after his last public appearance.
He was praised by The Wanted bandmate Max George as the group concluded their tour.
Tom, 33, had been joining his fellow band members on stage during gigs across the country.
