Max George has posted a touching homage to his late bandmate Tom Parker.

After a two-year battle with stage 4 glioblastoma, the Wanted singer died on March 30 at the age of 33, surrounded by his loved ones and bandmates.

On Sunday, The Games star, 33, posted a throwback photo with his ‘true buddy’ Tom, reclining on a sofa together, with Max making a thumbs-up sign as he embraced his mate.
‘Many individuals will walk in and out of your life, but only real friends leave footprints in your heart,’ he said in a very moving caption.

‘He’s blessed to have a friend like you, mate,’ one fan commented.

‘The friendship and real love you have for one another will never stop bless you all #maxgeorge x,’ commented another.

Tom’s wife Kelsey Parker went to Instagram on Friday to show the moment she was reunited with her two children following her brave Loose Women appearance.
The touching video, set to Ed Sheeran’s Little Bird, shows the 32-year-old mother of two cuddling her 2-year-old daughter Aurelia and 19-month-old son Bodhi.

The widow captioned the sweet video, ‘Thank you for all your wonderful comments today.’ It wasn’t an easy interview, but I’m proud of myself for being calm and not crying.
