Previously it was revealed that Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim will be holding a tour around the United States of America and Canada in September of this year, but an unexpected problem aroused that may prevent the singer from going. The Arab European Company, which is owned by Adel Ma’touk, said that the singer will not be holding any performances unless they approve since Suzan is tied to a contract with them.
According to the London based Elaph, the company stressed that the agreement states that any concerts Suzan holds outside the terms of the contract, are considered to be illegal. They also added that if Suzan is to hold any performances in the US or Canada, they must be organized by their representative there.
After an absence that has lasted for some time, Tamim is making a strong comeback by holding concerts worldwide. The singer feels that the best way to make up to her audience for time lost, is by holding a number of performances whether in Lebanon or outside of it. Suzan's schedule for the summer is practically booked until the end of September. The singer will at first hold a number of concerts alongside Iraqi singer Kathem El Saher and Lebanese singer Fadel Shaker in Syria.
Suzan has expressed that she despite the many problems she is currently facing with the lawsuits from her previous production company; she will not let it interfere in her summer's activity. On his part Saber has found temporary residence in Lebanon and revealed that he will not leave Beirut until the end of the summer season.
A court notice had been sent to all Arab local and satellite television and radio stations requesting them not to air any songs for Tamim. No station is to broadcast any of Tamim's song due to a contract previously signed by the singer and her former production company that is run by her ex-husband Adel Ma'touk.
The contract clearly states that unless the production gives right and permission, no station is to air or broadcast any of Suzan's songs. It was added that for the time being the company has made a court order banning any songs for Suzan to go on air.
Countless efforts made by close contacts to make amends between Suzan Tamim and Ma'touk have proven to be of no use as the two refuse to call a truce and solve their differences. Ma'touk recently released a court order against Suzan forbidding her from leaving Lebanon and demands that everyone who attempts to interfere be prosecuted. – Albawaba.com
