Cairo – Taha Hafiz
A number of concerts have been cancelled following the bombing at Ashrafia in the Lebanese capital Beirut putting several Lebanese singers in a critical situation due to the up-coming Adha feast. Contracts have been signed and a large numberof tickets have been sold already, but stars have kept silent despite news spreading about the cancellations. Lebanese producer Imad Kanso has cancelled concerts with Hyafa Wahby, Melhem Zein and Majd Fouany. The concerts were expected to occur during the Adha feast in the Movenpick hotel to mourn the killing of Brigadier General Wissam Al Hasan, the head of Lebanese internal security forces (ISF) targeted in a bomb attack on Friday, which killed seven other people. The Assi El Hellani and Rolla Saad concert, due to be held at Casino Lebanon, was also cancelled. No announcements were made cancelling the concerts for other Lebanese singers including Elissa and Wael Kafoury, due to take place October 27 at Venice hotel in Beirut, and Carol Samaha's concert on the first day of Adha feast at Abu Dhabi Cornice. It's expected that the musician Melhem Barakat will hold his concert on the second day at Edde Sands complex at Jubail on the Lebanese Coast.
