Awful, only 33.
Rock on in heaven, Tom.

Oh that is sad. I wasn’t a particular fan of The Wanted but whenever I saw the band interviewed their love for their band mate always came through. Doesn’t he have young children too? I’d hoped for a bit of a miracle I suppose.

MadMadMadamMim · 30/03/2022 17:15

What sad news. That's very young.

Anna197264 · 30/03/2022 17:15

Oh that’s so sad. Feel for his family.

Turningpurple · 30/03/2022 17:17

That is very sad. I remember seeing him interviewed talking about his illness. It was very moving.

ThreeRingCircus · 30/03/2022 17:17

Such awful news. I wasn't a particular fan but a young life taken far, far too soon. Flowers

Vanderpump · 30/03/2022 17:17

It's so sad

Pyri · 30/03/2022 17:18

Oh that’s so sad, he was so lovely, positive and open with the story of his brain tumour

So very young too. RIP Tom. I’m glad you came.

ImJustNotMeAnymore · 30/03/2022 17:18

That's so very sad 😢

Roselilly36 · 30/03/2022 17:20

Aww poor Tom, such a shame, gone too soon. RIP Tom, fly high, out of pain and at peace 🙏

Citygirl2019 · 30/03/2022 17:21

Very sad news. RIP Tom

mickeypillow · 30/03/2022 17:23

Goodness this is really sad. Weren't they just on stage in the last couple of weeks?

65honeybee · 30/03/2022 17:23

Terribly sad. His documentary about his brain tumour was very moving, and even though the prognosis was very poor, it's still a shock in someone so young and with a young family

daphnedoo12 · 30/03/2022 17:23

I knew he was terminal but I still didn't think it would happen for a long time. Poor man, his poor family. RIP

ApolloandDaphne · 30/03/2022 17:24

He was so young. My thoughts are with his family.

Kezzie200 · 30/03/2022 17:24

Really sad.

My daughter is a big fan and I spent many a night when she was a teenager waiting for her and her mates to come out of concerts. She's just seen them again - as a 25 year old - and Tom was there but, obviously, not performing.

I remember meeting him when sat behind one venue in the sun and they went in that way before the concert. He and his band mates were really friendly and chatted to us Mum's. So very sad to think he has passed away younger than I was at that time.

RIP Tom P.

Kezzie200 · 30/03/2022 17:26

They are touring at the moment. Toms not been to all of them and, those he did, he didn't perform.

balalake · 30/03/2022 17:28

May he rest in peace, and thoughts for his family and the rest of the group.

harrystylestaylorswift · 30/03/2022 17:36

Just the saddest, most tragic news. Sending so much love and strength to his family, friends, and all of those that loved him Flowers

BeeDavis · 30/03/2022 17:37

I met him about 10 years ago when The Wanted did a radio tour, absolutely lovely guy, it’s utterly tragic that we’ve lost him! His family and bandmates must be so heartbroken 💔

Cocolapew · 30/03/2022 17:38

Very sad news Sad

WeDontShutUpAboutBruno · 30/03/2022 17:39

His documentary was very brave, and very moving.

I have no idea how his beautiful wife and children will even begin to come to terms with their loss.

Very sad news.

IDidntFloatUpTheLaganInABubble · 30/03/2022 17:40

He seemed such a courageous young man in his documentary. Life is so utterly cruel at times. Thinking of his wife and their your children.

Samcro · 30/03/2022 17:42

That is sad

Hasselhoffsheadband · 30/03/2022 17:42

Have just seen this on BBC News, 33 years old, a wife and two little kids Sad This has just made me feel so sad this evening.

RIP Tom x

PilatesPeach · 30/03/2022 17:44
