Amr Diab’s concert, scheduled to be held in Lebanon on August 19, is facing several crises, which we review in the following lines:
Cleric in Lebanon
A clergyman in Lebanon launched an attack on the artist Amr Diab’s concert in Lebanon, and he said during a video published by Amr Adib on his program “The Story”: “Now Lebanon is preparing for a great huge celebration in Beirut, receiving the Egyptian singer Amr Diab, and the ticket price for the first seat reached 10,000. Dollars, the second seat is 6 thousand dollars, and the third seat is 4 thousand dollars. Four hours following the announcement of this concert, there was no ticket left, and they all followed.
The response of the Syndicate of Musical Professions in Lebanon
Discussing the crisis of Amr Diab’s concert in Lebanon, Farid Port Said, captain of the Lebanese Musical Professions Syndicate, during a telephone conversation with the journalist Amr Adib on his program “The Story” broadcast on “MBC Egypt”, where he explained that an official fee must be paid to artistic bodies in Lebanon, which is 10% of the contract. And this is the law.
One of the artist Amr Diab’s business administration explained, assuring the union that all required dues will be paid.
He said regarding the Lebanese people’s position on the ceremony: “If there was an objection, all the tickets would not be disposed of hours following announcing them. On the contrary, there is love, welcome and expectation from all people, and I am very excited for the ceremony.”
Regarding the position of the Lebanese Musical Professions Syndicate, he said: “And we, as a syndicate, are in our interest. The concert is the first thing to do, because we will take taxes. The second thing is in our interest, morally. the truth regarding the country.
And he added, “The country is going through difficult circumstances that have been going on for 4 years, but it is necessary to overcome all this.”
The heirs of the Lebanese producer Jean Saliba
3 years following the death of the Lebanese composer and producer Jean Saliba, his name reappeared strongly following it was reported that his heirs had submitted an official communication once morest the star Amr Diab, in conjunction with the announcement of his concert in Beirut on August 19.
Lebanese concert organizer Youssef Dandash, in a special statement to “Masrawy”, said: “The star Amr Diab, between him and the late producer, are mutual issues, and they are currently being settled.”
The Lebanese composer and producer Jean Saliba, who left our world in December 2020, affected by his infection with the Corona virus, had entered into a legal dispute with the star Amr Diab, and his former business manager, Tamer Abdel Moneim, at the end of 2010.
The late producer, in the lawsuit that was held before the Lebanese court, in July 2011, accused the star, Amr Diab, and his business manager, of being responsible for canceling the party that was to be held on New Year’s Eve, and which was organized by the “Dilara Master” company owned by Saliba. .
Saliba confirmed in the lawsuit that marketing tickets for the concert had failed, of which only 75 tickets were sold, although ticket prices ranged between 250 and 800 US dollars, explaining that Amr Diab received regarding 140,000 dollars as a down payment before the concert, out of 240,000 dollars. Fee for the ceremony.
The star, Amr Diab, for his part, submitted official communications once morest the Lebanese producer, confirming his breach of all the terms of the contract, and his failure to obtain the necessary permits for him and his musical group, and a judgment was already issued once morest the producer to pay a fine of $1,300, and prevent him from leaving Lebanon, before he He appeals this ruling.
The irony here is that the concert, which was canceled due to the crisis, was scheduled to witness the return of the star, Amr Diab, to Lebanon following an absence of 6 years, while the concert scheduled for next August comes, following an absence of 13 years.
Lawyer for the party organizing the Lebanon party
Legal advisor Hassan Mawla, “the lawyer of the company organizing the party”, said in a special statement to “Masrawy”, “Everything that is raised regarding the party is just rumours. There are no legal complaints once morest the party or the artist, Amr Diab.”
And he continued: “We, for our part, are in the process of taking legal measures once morest all websites and everyone who promoted these rumors, due to the material and moral damages incurred by the organizing company and the artist.”
The star Amr Diab’s concert comes 13 years following he retracted his revival of the New Year’s party in Beirut in December 2010, following a legal dispute broke out between him and the late Lebanese concert contractor Jean Saliba.
