Egyptian singer Shireen Ahmad has stressed that she refuses to waste her time listening to rumors of her sudden breakup with fiancé Issam, and insists on focusing only on her career. The singer had been working extensively for long hours in order to complete her upcoming new album for the year 2005, and has in fact recorded five out of eight songs from the album. 

 

According to the London based Elaph, Shireen’s producer, Nasr Mahrous, is purposely trying to be secretive regarding Shireen’s new album, wanting it to be a surprise to all her fans. The singer revealed that she has signed a contract to hold four concerts in Australia during the beginning of December, marking the first time throughout her career. Shireen added that before her trip to Australia she will head to Canada where she is also scheduled to hold a number of concerts there.  

 

Shireen revealed that she is preparing for a new surprise for her fans after succeeding in directing various video clips. Shireen announced after she decided to try her luck in TV directing and is currently reading a 33-episode TV drama to direct. Shireen is seriously thinking of directing the television drama and intends on playing the leading role in it. Shireen refused to give further details about the TV drama until she confirms the deal with the production company.  

 

Shireen has announced the breakup of her engagement to Egyptian businessman and concert coordinator, Issam, after the two have been together for less than a year. Shireen has already begun to appear on her own at different occasions, after being always accompanied by Assam, who acted as her personal business manager throughout their relationship.  

 

Shireen had announced her engagement to Issam a few months ago and held a private engagement party in her home, which consisted of her family and producer Naser Mahrous, whom she made up with recently, in addition to her fiancé’s family. -Albawaba.com
