Amal Maher Reassures Fans after Surgery

Egyptian superstar, Amal Maher is “on the mend” after undergoing surgery for an undisclosed condition.

Maher took to Twitter — now called X — to reassure her fans that the operation was simple and she's recovering well.

"I thank all the people and beloved fans for asking about me. I would like to assure you that it was a simple surgery and I'm fine ❤️🙏🏻," she wrote.

Maher, born on February 19, 1985, began singing as a child by presenting songs by iconic singer Umm Kulthum.

She was discovered at the age of fifteen and enrolled at the Conservatory of Arabic music to begin her singing career.

The acclaimed singer soon met composer Mohamed Diae, whom she eventually married and became the father of her son, Omar. She filed for divorce a year later.

She recorded her first song in 2006 and received the support of Ammar El Sherei, who she considers to be her spiritual father.

The 38-year-old musician made her last performance at the pyramids on June 12, 2020.

In June 2021, Maher announced that she was quitting music due to special circumstances beyond her control.

Later on, the singer opened up about her retirement decision and noted she went through a bad psychological state following the death of her aunt, who was close to her heart.

She added that breaking off her engagement had affected her and led to her decision.

In 2022, Maher backtracked from her decision and presented her first concert in Al-Alamein on July 29.
