The Wanted have been discussing a possible reunion as band member Tom Parker battles cancer. 

The singer opened up last year about his diagnosis, revealing he has grade four glioblastoma – an aggressive brain cancer.

However, that’s not holding him back from work, with the singer making a documentary about the disease and musing a comeback with bandmates Max George Nathan Sykes, Jay McGuiness and Siva Kaneswaran. 

Although the Lightning singers have been on hiatus since 2014, Max tells The Sun: “I love the boys, the band, the buzz, the fans, the music…  I love it all

“I would love to do it again. I’ve spoken to Tom a lot and he was like, ‘Yeah, cool. If it happens, it happens’.

“Despite everything he is going through, I know Tom would do it tomorrow. The boys are all over the place doing their own thing. They are all really successful. 

“But would I do it? A million per cent I would.”

He adds: “I hear it a lot still, so it feels like it has never gone anywhere. The music hasn’t aged and, for me, Glad You Came will be a summer banger forever.”

Meanwhile, Tom has remained positive about his health and, while welcoming his second child last year with wife Kelsey, he shared: “Almost a year ago, my world was turned upside down by my diagnosis. It’s been an emotional few months for me and my family. 

“But I’m determined to both fight the disease and the terrible situation of the chronically low level of research that goes towards finding a cure and treatment for glioblastoma.”

He added: “In this documentary, as well as exploring the medical and human aspects of this disease, I am determined to raise awareness and raise as much money as we can through the concert to help advance crucial cancer research and develop new treatments.”

The Wanted launched into the charts in 2009 with their breakout hit All Time Low and released three UK Top 10 albums. 

The group also achieved significant success stateside; their eponymous EP charted at No. 7 and massive hit Glad You Came peaked at No. 3 on the BIllboard Hot 100.
