Tom Parker has spoken of how his world was turned 'upside down' after his tumour diagnosis.
The Wanted singer Tom, 32, was diagnosed with a stage four glioblastoma following a massive seizure earlier this year.
Now Tom has shared a selfie of himself earlier this year but with a profound and lengthy caption.
Tom captioned the snap: "REALITY: Two days after this picture was taken, I was told I had a stage 4 brain tumour. It turned my world upside down.. I don’t really remember them earlier days of when I was told. I was living in such a haze.
"But I’ve come a long way even in such a short space of time. Thank you all for your love and support over the last few months. And again thank you to our friends and family who have really come together and helped wherever needed with the kids and helping with the house."
He continued: "My incredible manager @damiensanders1973 who I drive insane 24/7 has put himself out of his way to help me and kels through this difficult period.
"To my beautiful wife who has managed to cope with the tears, and looking after an 18 month old and a new born @being_kelsey she’s the true warrior here!
"I promise to keep you updated with how things are progressing over the next few months. And here’s hoping for a fantastic 2021".
The emotional caption prompted a wave of loving comments.
Tom's wife Kelsey replied to the post: "Love you my darling husband.. You’re our hero you make us so proud every day [heart emojis]️ we’ve got this battle xxx".
Meanwhile, Tom's The Wanted bandmate Max George commented: "2021... your year bud.. As are the next 60! [heart emoji]".
Made in Chelsea star Ollie Locke penned: "Love you bud!!! Sending you all the love in the world Xxx".
Tom has been spending his Christmas with Kelsey and two children Aurelia and Bodhi and is keen to focus on the best moments right now.
The singer is undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy for his stage four glioblastoma.
He received his diagnosis following a seizure earlier this year.
Tom and Kelsey also recently celebrated 11 years together.
