Parker was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma in the summer of 2020, but recently revealed that the tumor has shrunk, andhe is currently stable.
Since his diagnosis, however, the band who broke up in 2014 said Parker’s condition brought them back together — and decided to take advantage of the time they have together.
“Obviously we were all there to jump to his support,” George, 33, recalled, “and then we kind of started talking to each other as a group after that.”

Meanwhile, Parker added that “It’s quite nice going to work, because I get to take my mind off it and just have fun.”
