Max George shared an emotional tribute to Tom Parker on the two year anniversary of his death.
Tom was first diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour back in October 2020 after suffering a series of 'unexplained' seizures during the summer months the same year.
In January 2021, Tom told fans that his brain tumour had shrunk in an Instagram update and in November he announced that it was under control.

He went on to have 30 rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions to treat his grade four glioblastoma and even managed to join his bandmates on their UK tour in March 2022.
However, he tragically passed away that same month (30 March) aged just 33 from the inoperable brain tumour.
His bandmates, including Max, Nathan Sykes, Siva Kaneswaran and Jay McGuiness, attended Tom's funeral and served as pallbearers.
Max has took to Instagram over the weekend (30 March) to post a snap with his 367k followers of them both in bed together while Tom slept beside him.

The 'Glad U Came' singer also shared a clip from the sleepover with Tom saying: "Well, it's been a while since we did this."
He then turned his phone to film Tom who was laughing before joking: "George and Parker sleepover.
"Don't hump my leg in the middle of the night like you used to, right. We've got over that."

Max captioned the post: "2 years without you my brother. Still doesn’t feel real. Found these today.. our last sleepover. I’ll cherish it forever."
Fans later took to the comments to share their own tributes and words of support for Max, with one Instagram user writing: "Still to this day doesn’t seem real. He was definitely a legend of his time. Sending you all my love."
A second penned: "He is missed every day, there isn't a day that goes by and we don't think about him."
"Some days stay gold forever - sending you all our love Max . He was definitely one of a kind," offered a third, while another echoed: "Brothers for life. Sending love today and always Max."
