Take That singer Gary Barlow has said he is “praying for everyone affected” following an earthquake that has shaken Indonesian islands including Bali, where he is currently on holiday.
The 47-year-old posted an update after a quake with a magnitude of 7.0 struck, the second one to have hit following a series of quakes in Lombok on July 29.
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 as last nights. Followed by numerous after shocks. Praying for everyone affected
