Popular band from the 2000s reunite for tour in memory of deceased member.

Two members of the popular boy band The Wanted, Max George and Siva Kaneswaran, have recently announced their plans to reunite for a series of tour dates in India. While the rest of the band will not be joining them, it will mark the first time that The Wanted has performed together since 2022. This decision comes after the tragic passing of their bandmate Tom Parker in 2022 at the young age of 33 due to glioblastoma brain cancer.

Formed in 2009, The Wanted quickly rose to fame with their catchy hits such as "Glad You Came" and "Chasing the Sun". The original lineup consisted of Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Tom Parker, Jay McGuiness, and Nathan Sykes, who captured the hearts of audiences worldwide with their infectious music and magnetic stage presence. However, it is unclear why McGuiness and Sykes will not be joining the reunion tour.

The news of the tour comes as a surprise, as McGuinness had previously stated that continuing to tour as The Wanted without Tom would feel strange. In a 2022 interview, he shared, "We all feel weird about making those sorts of plans without Tom. We were a gang and went around the world together and it would feel odd to be doing that now as a four." It is possible that McGuinness' recent announcement of joining the cast of the show 2:22 in Ireland may explain his absence from the upcoming tour dates.

The band last toured in 2022 before taking a break to focus on their individual projects. Now, Max and Siva are excited to have the opportunity to perform in a new country, as they announced on their Instagram accounts. George expressed his excitement, calling the tour a "dream come true" and emphasizing the significance of this journey for both himself and Siva. They also shared a reel on Instagram to showcase their excitement for the upcoming performances.

As they prepare for the tour, Max George has been making headlines for selling his old belongings, including items from his time with The Wanted. He has already made at least £3,500 from the sales on his Depop page, with more items still available for purchase.
