“We are all absolutely devastated but we are gonna fight this all the way,” the British singer wrote.
In an interview with OK! magazine, Parker shared that he has a grade four glioblastoma tumor.
Parker revealed that he was diagnosed six weeks ago after experiencing seizures.
“They pulled the curtain around my bed and said, ‘It’s a brain tumor.’ All I could think was, ‘F–king hell!’ I was in shock. It’s stage four glioblastoma and they’ve said it’s terminal,” Parker told the outlet (via the UK’s Guardian). “It was a lot to deal with by myself. I still haven’t processed it.”
