AceShowbizThe Wanted star Tom Parker is suffering with memory loss due to his brain tumor treatment.

The British singer was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma and as a result of the chemotherapy and radiotherapy he is receiving, he has been struggling with his memory.

Speaking in a video posted on Instagram, he said, “As some of you know, I have been through chemo and radio, haven’t I? Which was pretty god-d**n brutal, but some of the side effects from the chemo and radio are you get bad memory loss.”

“I’m still in complete shock, it’s so much to take in,” he later told Britain’s OK! magazine about learning of the diagnostic.
