Despite her recent announcement of cancelling all prescheduled concerts in Lebanon and the Arab world due the war that broke off between Lebanon and Israel, Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram has given her approval
to hold a grand performance in London and Paris.
The singer, who was among those that had refused to leave her country while Israel was bombarding Lebanon scheduled to
hold a performance in London on August 12 and in Paris alongside UAE singer Hussein Al Jasmy on August 14, but there was a
lack of transportation means, due to the destruction of all routes by Israel, the singer was unable to make it to London and
Paris on time. The proceeds from both concerts was to go directly to helping Lebanese who were severely affected by the war.
Nancy revealed after the ceasefire was achieved that she has reschedule to hold two concerts in Paris and one in London. The singer stressed that she will do all that is possible to make it to the concerts in order
to ensure that the money made will be sent to help Lebanon.
On a different note, Lebanese singer Amal Hijazi’s brother has asked Nancy for her hand in marriage, and the
singer has shockingly declined. Nancy said that she is not thinking of getting
married until at least 2010.
Amal responded, “I do not understand how Nancy can determine when to love, as if the matter of love is something
that can be controlled.”
A photo of Nancy donning a Hijab (the Islamic Headdress) has been circulating on the internet, prompting rumors that
the singer has denounced the Christian faith and become a Muslim. Rumors claim Nancy embraced Islam after she was affected by the war between Lebanon and Israel, and the
suffering of Lebanese civilians.
Nancy denies that she has begun wearing a Hijab, claiming the picture of her on the internet wearing a Hijab is a fabrication,
and has called on the people creating such rumors to stop.
Nancy recently recorded a new patriotic song “Lebnan Ya Habib El Umor” (Lebanon My Only Love) to express her
grief over the horror her dear country is experiencing while Israeli forces are killing so many innocent civilians, destroying
the core of Lebanon, according to the singer.
The song is being aired on several Lebanese radio
stations at least once every half hour.
Nancy had the chance to flee Lebanon the night the air raids began, but chose to stay with her family and her people, canceling
all scheduled events around the Arab world.
