The actress penned: 'Dearest Jakarta fans, it's with heavy heart I announce I have to miss our final two shows of our Asia run. David and I have had a horrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us need 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.'

The actress and singer - who welcomed her first child, son Rennie, in 2021 - did not share any further details about the incident.

Foster stayed to perform the final two shows of the tour in Jakarta, with the last being tonight in the Indonesian city. 

He will be joined by Michael Bolton, Loren Allred, Peabo Bryson, and Raisa for the last show. 

It remains unclear at this time who the couple's nanny was and how they passed away.  

David and Katharine, who celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary on June 28, are parents to two-year-old son Rennie. 

David is also a father to five adult daughters: Sara, 42, Erin, 40, and Jordan, 36, whom he shared with second wife Rebecca Dyer.

He also has daughters Allison, 53, and Amy, 49, from previous relationships.

Nicole Scherzinger said: 'Sending my love and prayers for your family❤️'

David's ex-wife Linda Thompson wrote: 'Sending you and David love, & hoping that everything is OK.'

It come after the couple's two-year-old son Rennie showed off his drumming skills on Instagram earlier this year.

David shared the short clip, which showed the tot keeping solid time while sitting behind his drum kit

'PROGRESS!!' he gushed in the caption, before informing his followers that Rennie is just '2yrs 3mon.'

The composer, arranger, producer and music executive has been documenting his baby son's progress on the drums since last December.

In the clip, Rennie begins with a cool lick on one of his tom drums, before moving to the snare and ride symbol for a roll on each.

At that point, the adorable boy then showed he can keep a solid beat with the snare, kick and high-hat combination.

David first uploaded a video of Rennie playing drums on an electronic percussion device to Instagram on December 23, 2022, which he captioned: 'Little Drummer Boy.'

And he followed that up in January with a video of Rennie playing an actual drum set for the first time, where he shared how he had made 'progress at 22 months!!'

Three weeks later Rennie could be seen standing up as he focused on the high-hat symbol with an almost disco pattern.

'Finding his groove. 23 months,' Foster wrote at the time of the post.

Rennie's passion of percussion was so great that he actually grabbed a pair of chopsticks and began hitting away.

This latest post comes just over three months later, and his improvement on the drums in more than apparent.
