In London, uninjured singer seeks prayers





NEW YORK (Reuters) - London was the scene of carnage on Thursday after a
series of deadly blasts but American R&B crooner Omarion, who suffered no
injury or inconvenience, wants people to pray for him.

"Omarion was in London during the tragic bombings that struck this morning,
a statement by the singer's publicist AR PR Marketing, released hours after
the bombings, said.

Making no mention of the fatalities or casualties of the blasts, the
singer's statement concluded, "He would like his fans to pray that he has a
safe trip and a safe return home. He appreciates your support."

He was in London for Saturday's Live 8 show, his publicist Shana Gilmore
told Reuters from Los Angeles. Asked why anyone should pray for him, Gilmore
said, "He wasn't hurt or anything, but just the fact that he was there and
all that."

Omarion was the teenaged lead singer of the chart-topping band B2K before
going solo. The 20-year-old's first solo album "O" debuted at No. 1 of
Billboard charts earlier this year.
