AboutThe Wanted are a British boyband consisting of Jay McGuinness, Max George, Nathan Sykes, Siva Kaneswaren and the late Tom Parker. The group formed through a series of nationwide auditions in 2009 and signed to Geffen Records later the same year.
According to the All Time Low Songfacts, Max joined The Wanted following the demise of his former group Avenue , Siva had appeared as a model in several advertisement campaigns and Nathan was plucked from the Sylvia Young acting school.

In July 2010, the group released their debut single, All Time Low. The single debuted at #1 on the UK singles chart. Their second single, Heart Vacancy, debuted at #2 on the UK singles chart. Their self-titled debut album: The Wanted reached #4 on the UK albums chart in October 2010.

In early 2012, The Wanted began to achieve success in the United States and Canada with their hit single, Glad You Came, which sold 3 million copies in the US and hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on the Canadian Hot 100. Their follow-up singles: Chasing The Sun and I Found You reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

In 2013, it was announced that the group would be starring in their own reality series on E! entitled "The Wanted Life". The series documented the group's stay in Los Angeles while they recorded their third worldwide album, Word Of Mouth, and prepare for a world tour, as well as their day-to-day antics. The show promised an honest glimpse into the lives of the band members.

On January 22, 2014, the band announced that they would be taking a hiatus after their current tour and pursuing solo endeavours for a while, but that they would work again together in the future.

On November 12, 2021, The Wanted returned with the release of Most Wanted - The Greatest Hits and embarked on a tour during the month of March 2022 to promote the band's legacy. And with the tragic news of their band member, Tom Parker, having been diagnosed with brain cancer - this tour and album would mark the last time they got to perform as the original lineup.

Sadly, Tom Parker passed away on March 30, 2022, at 33 years old. However his memory will forever be kept alive thanks to the people he loved.
