“I would like to thank all of you who have reached out to me. By God's grace I am still alive, safe and getting medical attention but so traumatized. My deepest thoughts to our comrades who didn't make it and condolences to the bereaved families. What can I say? GOD,” the 36-year-old singer tweeted Sunday morning.
