It was revealed that Egyptian singer Shireen Ahmad will be heading to Lebanon in August to hold concerts for the first time throughout her music career. Shireen has decided to hold concerts in Beirut in order to introduce herself to her Lebanese audience and to increase her popularity.
According to the London based Elaph, the complete details regarding the concerts have not yet been released, except that the performance will take place at the Sheraton Coral Beach Hotel and is to be sponsored by "The Voice of Tomorrow".
Earlier this year, a radio broadcaster for a Tunisian station had asked Shireen Ahmad to hold a live interview with him, where listeners may call in and ask the singer direct questions. When the broadcaster called the singer and made his proposal, Shireen wholeheartedly accepted and promised to be home on the set date in order to hold the interview over the phone.
The minute the broadcaster called the singer on the given date of the interview she denied knowing him and hung up the phone in his face telling him it’s the wrong number. At this point the man was in shock for he was sure it was Shireen's voice that answered the phone, in addition to his making sure he was dialing the right number. After numerous attempts, the broadcaster gave up and apologized to all his listeners and told them the actual scenario of what had happened with him and how the singer expressed a rude and immature attitude towards him. He added that she should have been more professional and apologized for not wanting to hold the interview instead of merely saying "sorry you have the number".
The singer had also made a second mistake when she was the guest on a TV show and had expressed her fondness with the Israeli people and how she does not mind holding a concert in Israel. Her remarks caused many people including known singers to express their anger towards the singer saying that she has no sympathy towards the Palestinians and has no right to say such remarks.
