Katharine, 39, and her husband David Foster, 73, have been touring Asia with their musical act for the past week, according to Just Jared.

However, Katharine has cut her tour short and headed home due to a “horrible tragedy.”

On Instagram, the film and TV actress posted a black square with white text.

In the text, she wrote: “Dearest Jakarta fans, it’s with heavy heart I announce I have to miss our final two shows of our Asia run.

She explained: “David and I have had a horrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us needs to get back home to our family.

“Please know how sorry I am and how much I wish to return one day and perform for you all. Love, Katharine.”

While she didn’t explain the extent of her family troubles, plenty of her social media followers were quick to show their support for the singer.

Nicole Scherzinger wrote: “Sending my love and prayers for your family.”

The Talk star Amanda Kloots said: “Sending you loads of love. I’m thinking of you guys.”

Robbie Williams’ wife Ayda also sent her wishes, in the form of prayer hand emojis.

David’s third wife, Linda Thompson, also left a message for Katharine, writing: “Sending you and David love, & hoping that everything is OK.”

FAMILY FIRST

Katharine and David welcomed a baby boy into the world in February 2021.

The star first announced her pregnancy in October 2020.

Katharine shared that her son’s name was Rennie, and wrote on Instagram after his birth: “Just in case you were wondering… I love being a mommy!”

The pregnancy news came a year after McPhee and Foster tied the knot.

The pair got engaged in June 2018, and married a year later in front of about 150 friends and family members at the St Yeghiche Armenian Church in London.

BLENDED FAMILY

David is a musician and producer from Canada.

He has worked with music legends such as Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart and Kenny Rogers. 

David first met Katharine when he mentored her on season five of American Idol in 2006.

He has been married four times previously, most recently to The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid for six years before they divorced in 2017.

David is already a father to daughters Sara, 40, Erin, 39, and Jordan, 35, from his marriage with second wife, Rebecca Dyer.

He also has a daughter named Amy, 48, from his first marriage with B.J. Cook.
