It’s almost a year since Kelsey Parker said goodbye to her husband, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, who tragically died at the age of 33. And in an exclusive interview with new, Kelsey, 32, says grief is “so much bigger” than she ever thought it was.
Tom passed away on 30 March 2022 after an 18-month battle with glioblastoma brain cancer, leaving behind his wife and their two children, Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, two.
Speaking at the Dirty Dancing premiere at London’s Dominion Theatre, Kelsey tells us how she’s coping ahead of the first anniversary of Tom’s death.
“I’m just taking each day and living through it really,” she says.
Kelsey, who joined a five-day trek across the Sahara Desert in November to raise funds for breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!, also fronted a six-part series, Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, on how she’s been coping after her husband’s death.
“Tom called us the Positive Parkers and I really hope our optimism shines through because life is for living and we’re here, we’re doing it and I just want to keep moving forward,” she said when she dedicated the documentary to him.
