The Wanted took to Twitter on Tuesday (Sept 8) to announce it is set to reunite for the first time in seven years. The members will be performing at a charity gig organised by fellow band member Tom Parker to raise funds for brain cancer research.

Back in October 2020, Parker had revealed that he would be receiving treatment for grade four glioblastoma tumour, which he was told would be inoperable.
