Parker was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma in 2020.

Taking to Instagram at the time, the English singer wrote: "Hey guys, you know that we’ve both been quiet on social media for a few weeks and it’s time to tell you why. There’s no easy way to say this but I’ve sadly been diagnosed with a Brain Tumour and I’m already undergoing treatment. 

"We decided, after a lot of thought, that rather than hiding away and trying to keep it a secret, we would do one interview where we could lay out all the details and let everyone know the facts in our own way. We are all absolutely devastated but we are gonna fight this all the way. We don’t want your sadness, we just want love and positivity and together we will raise awareness of this terrible disease and look for all available treatment options. It’s gonna be a tough battle but with everyone’s love and support we are going to beat this. Tom and Kelsey xxx."

Parker opened up about his diagnosis in an interview with Britain's OK! Magazine at the time.

"[The doctors] pulled the curtain around my bed and said, 'It's a brain tumour,'" he told Britain's OK! Magazine. "All I could think was, 'F---ing hell!' I was in shock," he recalled. "It's stage four glioblastoma and they've said it's terminal. It was a lot to deal with by myself. I still haven't processed it." 

Parker's final post on Instagram showed him with his bandmates. "Dream Team," he captioned the post with a red heart emoji.
