Tom Parker's Wife Reveals Late Singer Still Communicates With Her: 'He Will Send Signs Back'

Tom Parker was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in October 2020, in March 2022, he passed away due to complications at age 33.

On his first death anniversary, his wife Kelsey Parker paid tribute to the singer through an Instagram post that simply read, "One year without you. Forever my soul mate."

In March, Kelsey talked about Parker's passing and what it was like losing him, "It doesn't really feel like it's been a year since we lost Tom."

"There is no concept of time. I could literally relive his death and us being in the hospice like it was yesterday, but then it seems like a lifetime ago that I was with him."

Remembering Tom Parker

Parker was a member of The Wanted, a British-Irish boy band that rose to prominence in the early 2010s.

All throughout his music career, he was with Kelsey, and they have been together for 13 years before getting married.

"I don't feel like time's healed me yet, but maybe in 10 years," Kelsey continued. "The days that I've found really hard are just your average Wednesday. I might wake up and go, 'Oh my god, he's not here today.'"

"There's not one day that goes by without thinking about him. I massively feel Tom's presence, especially now, this month."

Perhaps it is their close bond that keeps Kelsey going, and it is also what makes her think that Parker's presence lingers by her side.

"I speak to him a lot and I ask him questions and he will send signs back to me," she revealed.

The Wanted

Parker may have lived a short life, but in the 33 years that he was alive, he made each day worthwhile.

He shared two children with Kelsey, Aurelia, 3, and Bodhi, 2; and he was a member of a successful boy band.

The Wanted consisted of Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Nathan Sykes, and Parker; they were formed in 2009 but achieved mainstream success in 2012.

They released their debut album in 2010, "The Wanted," which peaked at No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart.

Their sophomore album "Battleground" was also well-received, as it peaked No. 5 in the UK and No. 4 in Ireland.
