TheWanted's Siva remembers 'firecracker' Tom Parker in moving funeral speech and poem
The Wanted's Siva Kaneswaran remembered his late bandmate Tom Parker as a "firecracker" in an emotional speech and poem during his funeral.
"Where do we begin? There can never be one paragraph to contain the legendary Tom Parker. But one can try. First, we'd like to thank Kelsey and the kids, Nigel, Noreen and Lewis, for welcoming us all here today," he began during his speech. He went on: "The loss of someone you love is such an undefinable thing. It appears sharply in our lives and can overwhelm us with sadness. But losing someone also reveals to us how much of an important person they were, how much of an amazing man he was.
He continued: "Without even thinking, the spiky-haired northerner asks the choreographer to show him the moves. He then proceeds to march up to anyone struggling, stand beside them and show them the choreography.
