The iconic the Wanted vs One Direction twitter beef

Zayn didn't have to go this hard😭😭

They should of made it public like tom parkers funeral plus for fans

No. Tom Parker knew he was dying and planned his own funeral. Liam did not. If Liam's family want privacy, that's what they should have. This isn't about the fans.

A fun little thing that I noticed…

In the pre-chorus of Sharpest Tool, Sabrina ends one line with the same word that the next line begins with. (Or words that sound alike.)

This is called anadiplosis.

The Wanted do this as well in their song Glad you Came.

It's my last Tumblr post for 2023, the year that saw the release of an Elvis biopic by Buz Luhrmann. Tom Hanks received some criticism along the way for his portrayal of Parker, with everything from his prosthetic makeup to his accent being singled out. As the year ends, lets take a look at some of the pictures I've collected of the real "Thomas Andrew Parker" during his years with Elvis.

Elvis and Parker at an RCA-Paramount Pictures party at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles on 18th May 1957.

Two pictures from December 21, 1957, when Elvis went to Parker's home (1215 Gallatin Road in South Madison, Tennessee) to deliver a Christmas present - a new BMW Isetta microcar.

It’s 9:15am at Fort Dix, NJ on 5th March 1960 and Elvis is being honorably discharged from the Army.  As he collects his mustering out cheque for $109.54 he kids with the Colonel about his percentage.  In later years that would be far from a laughing matter.

Parker shows his sense of humour during the filming Roustabout in 1964 when a birthday party is held for Elvis’ cousin, Billy Smith.

On the NBC set in Los Angeles, Elvis sung a birthday song ‘It Hurts Me’ (in an amusing parody) for the Colonel, 26 June 1968.

A couple of rare shots of Parker with baby Lisa Marie.

Two pictures of Parker and Elvis at the August 1, 1969 press conference in Las Vegas announcing Elvis' new residency at the International Hotel (the Hilton as of 1972).

In this candid shot, we see Parker in a hotel elevator while on tour in Mobile Alabama in 1971 with one of his constant business companions, longtime RCA Records executive George L. Parkhill (centre in yellow shirt).  Parkhill’s main task was "working with Elvis." That basically meant he supervised Elvis' concert tours and, when Elvis was in Los Angeles, monitoring all activities that involved him being RCA's top money maker.

The Colonel below the stage as Elvis performs in Cincinnati in the Black Fireworks jumpsuit on November 11, 1971.

Parker once again staying close to this star client below the stage at the evening appearance at Madison Square Garden on June 9, 1972.

Two pictures of Parker below the stage at the afternoon show in Honolulu on November 18, 1972. In the first picture he's picked an unusual spot to have a chat with Joe Esposito.

An undated picture of Colonel Parker on tour with Elvis in the early 1970s.

Colonel Parker before a concert in Detroit at Olympia Stadium on September 29, 1974.

Perhaps the last time Parker and Elvis were photographed together was in the dressing room just before the new years eve concert in Pontiac, MI, on December 31, 1975. At the time Parker had allowed a visit by local mayor Wallace E. Holland and Oakland press writer Jackie Kallen who presented an award.

I was looking at this photo here and remembered that that day Liam had gone to Tom Parker's funeral (former member of The Wanted) and looking at this photo I would never have imagined that two years later I would feel the same pain that TW fans felt

I remember Liam was very sad that day, I remember his wife (I'm not sure if she said that) said that Liam was helping Tom with his medication and chemotherapy

It's a pain that never goes away...

As I'm sure were all aware that Liam Payne from popular boy band One Direction has recently passed.

Obviously this was instant news and the praise and tribute posts stated to flood all over the internet including from his own bandmates Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Harry Styles as to be expected.

But other tribute posts from 'rival' bands such as Big Time Rush, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Nsync, Backstreet Boys, and even The Wanted (well Tom Parkers widow), which was One Directions main rival back in the day; their BSB to their Nsync if you will were posted as well.

I would like to point how much of a big deal this is. All these bands have been compared to each other at one point or another no matter what generation there from and fans have even started wars over which boy band was better or more iconic and what not. Yet they're all showing their love for Liam and their support for the other members.

I think we should take this as a sign not to take being a fan so seriously. I enjoy all the bands I mentioned above yet I obviously have my favorites, its okay to have your favorites too but there's no need for all the twitter fights, and hate posting.

Rest In Peace Liam 💞🕊️ you will ALWAYS be an important part of our childhoods you are dearly missed 💔

(fyi the wanted gif isn't mine).

Remember The Wanted, the guys who made Glad You Came and Chasing The Sun? They were supposed to be One Direction's main rival during the 2010's, but One Direction ended up blowing them out of the water, and they went on hiatus in 2014. One of the members, Tom Parker, passed away in 2022.

It's weird that One Direction and The Wanted both lost their "leaders" only two years apart. Tom was only 33 when he died, although his death was from brain cancer, and The Wanted reunited to do one last tour before he died. I just wish we could have gotten one last reunion with One Direction before Liam died.

Liam Payne’s death has me thinking of Tom Parker so much. And my dear Sarah Harding. I feel DEEPLY lucky to still be alive and turning 47 next year. So grateful for not just the memories made, but also the memories to come! I am filled with hope for the future. I must be! This photo is from February 2012. Backstage at the El Rey theater in Los Angeles, where The Wanted were performing. Wonderful night! Wonderful lads! Wonderful Kylie Minogue t-shirt that I still have! 😜 #ThrowbackThursday
