Ed Sheeran paid for Tom Parker’s medical treatment during his battle with brain cancer.

We know that now thanks to the forthcoming memoir by Parker called “Hope: My Inspirational Life.”

According to an excerpt seen by The Sun:

“I’ve never publicly said this before (and he’ll probably be mad that I’m doing it now) but Ed is a very special man — he even helped out with my medical bills when I was seeking other treatment options and having private immunotherapy.” “He didn’t need to do any of that, but my wife Kelsey and I are so grateful to him for his support, it meant the world.”

They struck up a friendship when Sheeran joined The Wanted on tour over a decade ago.

Parker died at age 33 in March after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in October 2020.
