Just one month after Lebanese superstar Ragheb Alama lost her mother, he is now mournign the death of his beloved father.

The singer barely had time to recover from his mum's death, only to have it shortly followed by his father's demise.

Ragheb burst out in tears at his father's funeral over the weekend, but has returned to his normal daily activities today.


The distressed star tweeted a photo of himself on the tennis court, ready for a game with his friends and his son Khaled.

In the photo's caption, Ragheb wrote that playing sports is a great way of de-stressing from life's pressures.

In related news, Ragheb thanked Queen Rania of Jordan for calling him to pay her condolences for his father's passing, calling her the "Queen of people and good manners."

"Thank you my lady. May God grant you, King Abdullah of Jordan and the Jordanian people a long life," Ragheb said in a tweet.
