Tom Parker suffering from memory loss amid terminal brain cancer treatment

Tom Parker has revealed he’s been suffering from memory loss amid his brain tumour treatment.

The 32-year-old singer, who shot to fame as a member of The Wanted, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.

Taking to his Instagram page, Tom updated his fans about his chemo and radiotherapy and told them his short-term memory has been affected.

Speaking to his 201,000 followers, Tom said: “As some of you know, I have been through chemo and radio, haven’t I?

“Which was, let me tell you, pretty god-damn brutal, but some of the side effects from the chemo and radio are you get bad short-term memory loss.”

He turned to his wife Kelsey Harwick, and asked: “Mine was already bad, wasn’t it?”

She replied: “Horrendous already, so now I’m like… literally, it’s even worse!”

Tom explained he struggled to remember daily activities but would recall “weird” things, such as a present for his daughter Aurelia.

He continued: “But it’s the weirdest thing because like, I’ll go to her [Kelsey], ‘What did I just do?’ But I can remember stuff like this…”

The singer showed his followers a toy he had got for Aurelia, which was a Heart Of Tafiti necklace worn by Moana in the Disney film.

Tom joked: “What have we got? A Heart of Tafiti for Christmas?” He asked himself, “How do you remember that? Stupid.”

Married couple Tom and Kelsey tied the knot in 2018 at a romantic ceremony in Surrey.

They share two children, Aurelia and Bodhi.

Aurelia was born in June 2019, and Bodhi was welcomed into the world in October this year.

Tom and Kelsey marked 11 years of being in love earlier this month.

The singer marked the occasion with a sweet Instagram snap, as he wrote: “December 2009………11 Years on.

“We met in a nightclub and I fell head over heels in love with you.

“It’s been an incredible journey so far, lots of adventures, a whole lotta love and two beautiful kids.”

He continued: “Some slight obstacles to overcome but nothing we can’t get through together.

“I love you so much @being_kelsey.”
