The late pop singer Tom Parker of “The Wanted” tugs at the heartstrings in his compelling book “Hope: My inspirational life.”

On March 30, 2022, the music and entertainment world mourned the loss of Tom Parker, a beloved pop star, father (of two children), husband, and son, who passed away from terminal brain cancer.

“Hope: My inspirational life” is his story, his legacy, in his own words.

A proud working-class lad from Bolton, Parker rose to chart-topping fame with The Wanted and even took America by storm. A loving father to Aurelia and Bodhi and a devoted husband to Kelsey, his life after pop superstardom was all about family, friends, and finding a new purpose.

After his diagnosis in 2020, he become a prominent campaigner for brain cancer research, appearing in the House of Commons as well as holding a massively successful concert in aid of Stand Up to Cancer in the Royal Albert Hall.

Throughout it all, Tom had hope. This inspirational memoir shows how far hope and daring to dream can carry you, no matter what cards you’re dealt.

Most importantly, “Hope” showcased Tom Parker’s indomitable spirit, zest for life, and family, and his overwhelming ability to love. His life story is an inspiration to us all.

“Hope: My inspirational life” is available on Amazon by clicking here. It is a must for all fans of Tom Parker, The Wanted, and pop music. There is something in it for everybody, and it garners an A rating. One thing is for sure… Tom Parker will be missed by all.
