Siva Kaneswaran Channels Loss Into Advocacy, Backing Oxford ‘Memory Bank’ and Honoring Tom Parker on Tour

His outreach spotlights the memory loss feared by glioblastoma patients.

Overview

  • In new remarks, the Wanted singer says Tom Parker’s death pushed him to confront fears and “squeeze life” from each day.
  • He cites tackling Celebrity SAS, reaching the Dancing on Ice semi-final, and taking a Spanish-language stage role soon after Parker died.
  • On a US run with The Wanted 2.0, he says performing Gold Forever requires him to address Parker each night to manage his grief.
  • Kaneswaran is supporting GenesisCare’s Memory Bank installation highlighting positive memories for brain cancer families, featuring patient messages revealed under ultraviolet light and imagery inspired by functional MRI.
  • The display is reported as currently in an Oxford shopping centre before moving to a GenesisCare site later in the autumn, with outlets differing on whether the venue is Westgate or Westfield.
