The Wanted’s Max George has broken his silence following the death of his bandmate Tom Parker.
Tom tragically lost his life aged 33 on Wednesday (March 30) after a brutal battle with brain cancer.
The singer left behind his loving wife Kelsey and two young children Bodhi and Aurelia.
Max shared a series of sweet snaps of the pair on Instagram and captioned the post: “Tom, my brother, my boy, my band mate, my best bud. You lit up so many lives all over the world but I can only speak on behalf of mine.
“From the minute I met you, I knew this was gonna be a special chapter in my life. I was right. We did everything together, some amazing things, some outrageous things.

“Im so proud of what we achieved as band mates and as brothers. I’m also proud that I was there the night you met Kels. I remember saying to you, ‘you like her don’t you?’ to which you replied, ‘bro, like you wouldn’t believe’. You two really are like peas and carrots.”
He continued: “Thank you for choosing me as your friend. It was an honour from day one. I’m so grateful I was with you until the very end. The courage and dignity I have witnessed over the last few months surpassed the lion I already knew you were.
“The huge hole now left in my life will forever be there, but I know your spirit will live on through your two beautiful babies, your wonderful wife, our music, your fans and in my heart.

“I’m heartbroken beyond words right now and I cannot even begin to imagine what the future holds without you, but whatever I do going forward, even on my darkest days, I can always smile and say, ‘I shared the stage with Tom Parker’.
“I am going to miss you so much. I love you mate. Always. George.”
Fans flocked to the comment section to share their love and support, with one writing: “Oh Max, this is beautiful.”
Another added: “So very sorry for your loss.”
