The Wanted star Max George has opened up about how he still messages Tom Parker after his death. Parker died at the age of 33 in March after he was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, an inoperable brain tumour, in October 2020, and was given just 12 months to live by doctors.
Asked if he still talks to Parker, Max, 33, explained: ‘I’m still trying to process it, I still text him actually. ‘If I get pictures or stuff that fans have made with him in it or they send a nice message to do with Tom, I’ll WhatsApp it to him. ’He added on This Morning to Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond: ‘I just find a bit of comfort in that.
The worst bit is when I’m not doing it and I do it accidentally.
