Tom Parker breaks down in tears during The Wanted charity gig amid cancer battle

Tom Parker grew emotional while performing on stage at a cancer charity gig on Monday night.

The Wanted star, 33, reunited with his bandmates Max George, Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuiness and Siva Kaneswaran at Inside My Head – The Concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Hosted by Capital’s Roman Kemp and Sonny Jay, the show saw the boyband reunite on stage and perform together for the first time in seven years.

The gig was organised by Tom following his stage 4 glioblastoma diagnosis, with all proceeds split between Stand Up To Cancer and The National Brain Appeal.

While performing live with the band, Tom could be seen breaking down in tears.

Wearing a brown shirt and black jeans, Tom wiped tears from his face while holding a microphone.

He was comforted by his The Wanted bandmate Siva.

The charity concert also featured performances from One Direction star Liam Payne and Tom remained emotional following the event.

Posting to Twitter, the singer shared a 15-second video of fans outside the venue chanting ‘We Love Tom’.

Alongside the clip, Tom wrote: “Wow, what a night.

“Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

“Sorry I couldn’t come out and see you all [because of] Covid but thank you all for the support. It means so much.”

A video from the event also showed an emotional moment where all five members of The Wanted embraced on stage.

Speaking on his Instagram stories after the concert, Tom said he had been “absolutely overwhelmed” by everyone’s support.

Revealing he had arrived home at 1.50 am, Tom added: “I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved.

“From the audience, all the fans, all the crew, everyone involved man.

“Everyone’s just been amazing so thank you so much.”

A livestream of the concert will be made available this week, with highlights to air as part of Tom’s forthcoming Channel 4 documentary.
