Tom Parker - Inside My Head
He's got a glioblastoma, and as well as showing what treatment is available (not an awful lot), meeting other sufferers (one of whom died) and some survivors, he arranged a charity concert for which he was able to reform The WANTED. The other band members were OK with the gig, though the degradation of their friend must have been hard to take in. Sigrid, Liam Payne and Ed Sheeran were among other acts who made up the rest of the bill. Tom's long-term prognosis doesn't look too clever, but he's fighting it as well as he can, for the sake of his wife and children.

Tom Parker is now saying his tumour has been stabilised, and the Wanted have a new compilation with 2 new tracks on it, so who knows?

Music Box: Into The Abyss
Someone obviously had good access to Juice WRLD in his final years, and this footage tries to paint the picture of a genius lost too young. Crowds chanted along merrily, and his girlfriend seemed level-headed. His freestylings were impressive, but it came back to the pills. I didn't realise either that The Kid Laroi was in the orbit of his circle, or that he was present on the fateful final flight that Juice took. Producer Benny Blanco, and some other rappers, spoke warmly and regretfully of his loss.
