Tom Parker

Since the death of her husband, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, in 2022, Kelsey Parker has continued to admirably raise awareness about brain tumours, while documenting her life after Tom and navigating grief as a solo parent to their two children Aurelia Rose, four, and Bodhi Thomas, three.

Tom was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2020. Despite this, he continued in his efforts to raise awareness about brain tumours and even held a charity concert with his former band and other pop stars like Becky Hill, Liam Payne and McFly. Tom sadly passed away two years later aged just 33, but Kelsey is striving to continue his legacy.

Elvis dated June Juanico, one of his fans, early in his career. In 1955, he first met her in Biloxi, Mississippi, when she was performing there. They started dating soon afterward, but their relationship lasted only a year after Elvis' increasing fame allegedly began between them. Colonel Tom Parker, the company's boss, wanted him to be associated with actresses and Vegas showgirls. Of course, Elvis loved legs that went on for days, and he brought one of those showgirls home for Christmas in '56," Juanico once said in an interview. "That did it for me." I wanted to marry someone else.

Many people associate Elvis and Priscilla Presley as one of the most popular love tales in music history, but the truth is much more complicated than that, especially when it comes to how they met. The pair first met at a party during Elvis's time in the Army when he was in his mid-20s, according to the majority of Elvis biographies (and Priscilla's memoir, which became the basis for Sofia Coppola's film "Priscilla"). If it weren't for the fact that Priscilla was just a teen at the time, that wouldn't be scandalous at all. Elvis and Priscilla were the object of a lot of gossip and rumors throughout their entire relationship (and beyond). Although they did have a significant difference between their ages, it wasn't the most controversial part of their friendship. We're going to break it down here.

On the one-year anniversary of Tom Parker's death, his widow is remembering him. Kelsey Parker took to Instagram early Thursday morning to share a beautiful photo of her and the late musician looking lovingly into one another’s eyes, writing in her caption:

This is so sad. It's been almost three months since Tom Parker died after battling stage 4 cancer (specifically an inoperable glioblastoma), and his 2-year-old daughter Aurelia is still struggling to process what's happened.

Love is always worth celebrating in the face of even the most challenging situations. In honor of their 11th anniversary, Tom Parker of The Wanted paid the tribute to his wife, Kelsey Hardwick, on Saturday. Tom has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, according to the couple, but they have pledged to continue fighting together.
