I've been lucky enough to know Thom for about 7 years, and I am so proud of the work we've done to advocate for those living with Type 1 diabetes. He was a great colleague, mentor and friend to all. Rest In Peace."

Last month, Nick had spoken about his experience of being diagnosed with diabetes at the of 13. "Today resonates with me personally because it’s the 16th anniversary of my diagnosis. I was thirteen, playing shows with my brothers. And I knew in my gut that something wasn’t right, so I went to my parents and told them I needed to see the doctor."

"After going over my symptoms, my paediatrician informed me that I had Type 1 diabetes. All the symptoms were in line with an undiagnosed Type 1. I was devastated - frightened… Did this mean my dream of touring the world and playing our music had to end? But I was committed, just like I always have been, to not letting it slow me down. There are tough days but I have an incredible support system I can rely on to help me push through and not be hard on myself when I’m feeling low," he had added. Reacting to the post, Priyanka had dropped heart-eyes and clapping hands emojis.
