Tom Parker

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.

Kelsey Parker, Tom Parker's widow, has admitted that she "feels his presence all the time" as a result of the singer's tragic death. The 33-year-old beloved singer from boyband The Wanted died on March 30th, 2022, after suffering from an inoperable brain tumor. Now, following the first anniversary of the singer's death, his wife and the mother of his two young children's two children have expressed how spirituality has helped her cope with her tremendous loss. "I am so spiritual right now." You can just feel it. In a recent interview with The Daily Star, she said, "it has gotten me through this year." "I feel Tom's presence all the time." He's been with me a lot this month. "I ask him for signals and he gives them to me," she explained to the outlet. "He strokes my face when I'm asleep." After experiencing a series of "unexplained" seizures in the summer of that year, the Wanted band member was diagnosed with a terminal tumor in his brain in October 2020. In an interview with OK! Doctors found a grade 4 glioblastoma in a newspaper, according to Parker's article. The singer appeared in his own Channel 4 documentary "Inside My Head" where he talked openly about his illness, the treatment he underwent at the time, and his views of death prior to his death.

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.
