Siva Kaneswaran, Tom Parker’s The Wanted bandmate, revealed the emotional vow he made to his pal days before he passed away in 2022 at the age of just 33.
The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran has revealed the touching promise he made to bandmate Tom Parker before his tragic death. The world of music was left devastated when Tom died in 2022 aged just 33.
The musician died from a brain tumour. Almost five years ago Tom first revealed his incurable diagnosis. He was diagnosed with grade IV glioblastoma and died on March 30 2022.
Siva has now admitted to telling his pal a promise he made in the weeks leading up to his passing. Prior to Tom’s passing, the 36-year-old had been a supportive friend to him and described how much the late musician loved his family.

“He deeply loved his family and community, and his fans,” Siva told The Sun as he explained how Tom was passionate about raising awareness of his condition. “Part of his legacy had always been talking about his brain tumour and keeping the conversation going.”
Siva continued, “I said, listen, I got this,” making an open statement about his commitment to Tom. This is common to all of us. Even if you can’t, we’re going to do everything we can to keep your story moving forward.
Siva reaffirmed his commitment by calling his bandmate a “brother to me.” He stated once more that he would continue to follow Tom’s advice to avoid forgetting.
Tom left his wife Kelsey Parker and their two children, Aurelia and Bodhi, behind at the time of his passing. Siva has collaborated with GenesisCare, a private cancer charity, as part of his commitment. And he acknowledges that their ambitions have blown him away.
Kelsey, Tom’s widow, mentioned how crucial it is to preserve her late husband’s memory in May. She confirmed that she will always carry on Tom’s legacy despite starting a new life with her partner Will Lindsay.
An annual charity football game in his honor has been organized since his death. It has developed into a celebration of the singer’s life and a heartfelt legacy.
Additionally, it is a crucial fundraiser for brain tumor prevention and treatment, with proceeds going to Ahead of the Game, a charity that fought and supported Tom and his family throughout his illness.
Before the event this year, Kelsey expressed her gratitude to those who participated, saying: “I and my entire family value raising money to fund Ahead of the Game and awareness for brain tumors.
“We’re so happy to be able to do this once more,” said the team. The support has been fantastic once more. It’s a really great community and family day out, so please come down and support us. We really appreciate you to Bromley F. C. for hosting us once more and to Grove Gallery for their return as our official sponsors.
