"I simply cannot fathom being thousands of miles away at this time" — Bas earlier postponed his UK/EU tour to be by his mother's side

He mentioned that he wanted to be by her side and could not "fathom being thousands of miles away" from her. He then urged his fans and followers to keep his mother in their prayers as he said:

"Watching my super woman lose her super powers has been the most soul crushing pain I’ve ever had to endure. Still we say alhamdulilah and thank God for our beautiful family as we come together to nurse our matriarch back to health."

He ended the post by thanking his fans for their understanding and support during these tough times.
