I'm grieving for my pal ...but Tom's bravery will inspire me

Siva Wanted to dance for bandmate

- SHANE POWER

THE Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran says his late bandmate Tom Parker’s courage inspired him to do Dancing On Ice. 

The Dublin singer admitted his pal’s brave battle against an aggressive brain tumour encouraged him to seize the day.

Siva, 34, partnered with Klabera Komini, will dedicate his performances to Tom, who died in March aged 33 just weeks after the band’s last arena tour as a fivesome.

He said: “His bravery inspired me to rethink my life and take chances. I try not to take things for granted now… It’s hard. I’m still grieving.
