“Please know how sorry I am and how much I wish to return one day and perform for you all,” the Smash actress concluded the post.
Friends and followers sent McPhee and her family well wishes in the comments section of her post. Linda Thompson, Foster’s ex-wife, wrote, “Sending you and David love, & hoping that everything is OK.” Amanda Kloots shared, “Sending you loads of love. I’m thinking of you guys.” Nicole Sherzinger added, “Sending my love and prayers for your family.”
Foster will stay behind and perform his final show of his Hitman Asia tour on Saturday in the Indonesian capital. He will be joined by Michael Bolton, Loren Allred, Peabo Bryson, and Raisa.
Earlier this month, McPhee shared an Instagram post expressing her joy over the then soon-to-begin tour of Asia. She captioned a post featuring highlights of the show, "SINGAPORE! I’m so excited to come see you guys for the first time! Get your tickets now."
