Diana Haddad Addresses Retirement Rumors

Lebanese superstar Diana Haddad recently stirred retirement rumors after she deleted all her photos on social media and went on hiatus.

In a statement on Tuesday, the acclaimed singer reassured fans that she is in good health and did not retire from singing, as some guessed, and had taken a break for herself and stepped away a little from social media.

She noted that felt the great love of the public and media during that period.

Haddad continued: "How worried they were about me? I thank them for their great love and all those who asked about me. I want to confirm that I am fine, praise God, and much better than before,".

"I have not retired from singing and I'm in a new phase of my life, which is a phase that is all peace and serenity".

"I'm working on new things and a new vision; I'm very eager to present to you all these new things. I love you so much," she added.

Before Haddad went on hiatus, she was last seen donning a veil and standing in front of the Great Mosque of Mecca in Saudia Arabia, which sparked speculation about her conversion to Islam.

Haddad is one of the most popular singers in the Arab World.

The superstar’s breakthrough came in late 1997 when she released her third album “Ammanih”, which featured her popular single of the same title.

Haddad’s debut album “Saken” (1996) was one of the best-selling albums of that year. The album also introduced the singer and her Bedouin music style to the public.
