The Glad You Came singer admitted that the performances weren’t ‘about the music’ but rather ‘doing that tour because Tom wanted to do it’.
He said Mirror: ‘There are more important things and that time we spent with Tom, looking back, is more important than anything.
“Especially the last show, it was tough, it was quiet afterwards, I think there was this kind of energy in the air, I’ve never seen an arena like this, it was a beautiful night, but something I’ve never experienced.
On the future of the band, he continued: “In my opinion The Wanted will always be a quintet, I think our approach has changed in terms of supporting each other and doing things together that can make a difference.”
