The 33-year-old singer - who is using a wheelchair after treatment for his inoperable brain tumour left him too weak to stand - joined the lads in singing their biggest hit, Glad You Came.
Taking centre stage on a raised platform, Tom was surrounded by pals Jay McGuinness, Nathan Sykes, Siva Kaneswaran and Max George.
After the show, Max posted a black and white photo of him and Tom relaxing backstage and gushed over his best mate.
"It's been an epic few weeks… One last show my boy…" Max captioned the heartwarming pic.
"You are a true hero mate. Can't wait for the next tour with you…Liverpool… Can you hear us???!"
Fans loved the candid photo, agreeing that Tom was a hero and with many excited at the prospect of another The Wanted tour.
