Amr on Vacation

Not for nothing that there have been no recent updates here. Amr is taking a vacation, spending time with the family who have left Lebanon in the wake of continuing violence. There were rumours of north coast concerts but these were only rumours and we have no fixed dates to report for you at this time. sorry.

Guilty! Last year's fraudulent concert sales

An official at the Egyptian Embassy in Istanbul has notified police officials that she is not responsible for the illegal actions of a concert agent who swindled fans into purchasing tickets for an alleged concert by prominent Egyptian singer Amr Diab.

The official was shocked that tickets were being sold at 50 US dollars each and immediately made a call to the managing office of Amr in Egypt to see if the news was true.

Amr’s office denied any scheduled performance in Turkey, leading the embassy to contact local police, reported the Qatar based daily, Al Raya. The Arts and Concert Company, to which the agent belongs has been found guilty of fraud, scamming thousands of Turkish fans. The company had advertised for three concerts to be held by Diab in Turkey, scheduled to take place in Istanbul, Anatolia, and Ankara.
