He said that this health  ordeal led him to re-discover who his real friends were and those who were not. He expressed gratitude to those  who remained true to him. He added that his new song Al-Om (The mother) will be released in time for  Mother’s Day in March and that he has dedicated  it to all mothers around the world.
