Tom Parker had written a book that detailed his courageous battle with cancer.

On Wednesday 30 March, The Wanted singer's wife Kelsey, who tied the knot with him in 2018, confirmed that he had tragically passed away nearly two years after first being told he had an intolerable brain tumour.

And just last week, Tom announced that he had written a book about "finding hope in whatever situation you're dealt".

Dishing all about the new venture, the late star, who leaves behind his wife Kelsey and his two children, Aurelia, two, and Bodhi, one, revealed the book was available to pre-order now and was set for release in July.

Tom shared a sweet video montage of his career and family life and wrote in the caption: "Hi, I'm Tom Parker, a lot of you know me as one-fifth of The Wanted, but I am also a father, a husband, and a son, that's battling brain cancer.

"My book, coming this July, is not about dying: It's a book about living. It's a book about finding hope in whatever situation you're dealt, and living your best life no matter what."

Tom added: "It will show you how having faith in hope and daring to dream means you can carry on, against all odds."

He then directed his fans to the link in his Instagram bio where they could pre-order their copies.

The link takes fans to a draft cover of his book named Hope, My Inspirational Journey.

On Wednesday, Tom's devastated wife Kelsey paid a lengthy and emotional tribute to him as she announced that he had passed away from a brain tumour at the age of 33.

Tom was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2020 when he was told that it was inoperable.

With this in mind, he was warned he only had 12 to 18 months left to live.

Before his tragic death, Tom had spoken of his hopes of becoming cancer-free by March 2022.

"You'll always be classed as terminal," he said in October.

"They give you 12 to 18 months of survival. But that's the general statistics. Everyone we've ­spoken to has been way, way beyond that."

Meanwhile, The Wanted posted a tribute to Tom, with an Instagram message reading: "Max, Jay, Siva, Nathan and the whole Wanted family are devastated by the tragic and premature loss of our bandmate Tom Parker, who passed away peacefully at lunchtime today surrounded by his family and his band mates.

"Tom was an amazing husband to Kelsey, and father to Aurelia and Bodhi. He was our brother, words can't express the loss and sadness we feel. Always and forever in our hearts.

"Tom Parker 1988-2022."
