Kelsey Parker has shared a moving update four years after the death of her husband Tom Parker, the Wanted singer who died in March 2022 at age 33 from an inoperable brain tumour. The 36-year-old mother-of-two organised a charity football match in his memory, raising over £100,000 for brain cancer research via the Tom Parker Foundation.
The event, held pitch-side, featured stars including footballer Bradley Dack, MAFS participants John Shepherd and Leah Tyrer, and a performance by JLS's Oritsé Williams. Speaking emotionally, Kelsey said: 'I can't believe we're four years. People still show up. People still care. This is for such an amazing cause, it just means everything.'
Oritsé Williams also paid tribute, calling the match 'really special' and noting that nearly 2,000 people attended. He said: 'All the memories of the conversations I had with Tom came rushing back. It was very beautiful to celebrate Tom's legacy.'
In addition to grieving Tom, Kelsey faced further heartbreak in June 2025 when her baby son Phoenix with new partner Will Lindsay was stillborn at 39 weeks. She admitted needing 'space to breathe' and said it is 'ok to not be ok'. Kelsey has now revealed she and Will are trying for another baby, expressing hope for a better year in 2026.
