The Wanted's Max George opens up about bandmate Tom Parker's terminal brain cancer
"There is nothing that he has ever given up on," he said about Parker.
Max George of the U.K. band The Wanted is sending nothing but love and support to his bandmate, Tom Parker, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
On Tuesday, George, 32, shared a thoughtful and hopeful message with his fans regarding Parker's health.
"First of all ... I think the bravery of Tom and Kelsey announcing their situation is incredible. It’s obviously a devastating and scary time ... but for those who don’t know Tom I will say this. There is nothing that he has ever given up on and has never taken no for an answer," he wrote alongside a collage of photos of the band on Instagram.
"His heart is the size of a lions, and it is his drive and passion that has always led The Wanted and made sure we are looked after the right way," George continued. "Speaking as a brother, a friend and a bandmate ... I know that you will conquer this as you have every other challenge you have ever faced."
"We are all on this journey together ... and I can’t wait to get back on the stage with you and the boys and have a proper celebration when you’re better. You got this my man. I love you, Kels and all the family with all my heart and I’ll be right here," he concluded.
Parker, also 32, revealed his tumor diagnosis in his own Instagram post on Monday. He also confirmed he was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma -- an aggressive form of brain cancer.
The Wanted boy band consists of Parker, George, Nathan Sykes, Siva Kaneswaran and Jay McGuiness, and are known for their hits "All Time Low" and "Glad You Came." They went on an indefinite hiatus in 2014.
