Several of the singer’s friends shared well wishes in the comments section. Nicole Scherzinger wrote, “Sending my love and prayers for your family [praying hands and heart emojis].” Linda Thompson, who was previously married to Foster, commented, “Sending you and David love, & hoping that everything is OK [praying hands a heart emojis].” The Talk co-host Amanda Kloots also wrote, “Sending you loads of love. I’m thinking of you guys.”
Foster, 73, will continue performing on the final two shows of the Asia tour, which are scheduled in Jakarta’s Sentul International Convention Centre today and tomorrow. The musician has not publicly commented on the tragedy as of our posting.
