AceShowbiz - Take That singer Gary Barlow has reassured fans he's OK after an earthquake hit Indonesia, where he's vacationing.
The 47-year-old pop star and his family were shaken up by Sunday's (August 05) 6.9 quake, which struck Lombok days after another big tremor last week, July 29.
Updating fans on Twitter, he wrote: "This morning I bumped into so many British families leaving Bali. How lucky we are to have that choice.
"I've had the misfortune of being in 7 earthquakes but none have felt more deep and raw... Praying for everyone affected."
He later added: "Thank you Bali for a peaceful and meaningful break. Such a shame it all came to an abrupt end. Praying for the beautiful people of this region who've been affected by the Earthquake."
