What Was Tom Parker’s Cause of Death?
Tom died untimely after a valiant battle with brain cancer.
In October 2020, he was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma.
He was told he only had 12 to 18 months to live, but after six rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions, the musician had stated that his tumour was “stable” back in November.
In early March 2022, Tom Parker received treatment in a private hospital in Spain. Therapies included time in an oxygen machine, massages, and a special diet.
Parker returned to the UK after the therapy was completed, and he joined his bandmates on tour in a wheelchair since he was too weak to stand on March 7, 2022.
