George Wassouf fans got a pleasant surprise when he unexpectedly appeared on stage at the star-studded "Trio Arabic Night" concert in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, December 31.

The evening also featured performances by Angham, Nawal El Zoghbi, Assala Nasri, Elissa, Latifa, Nancy Ajram, Najwa Karam, Walid Toufic, Wael Kfoury, Assi El Hallani, Bahaa Sultan, and Saber Rebai.

The event was held as part of the 2022 Riyadh Season.

Wassouf, who was born on December 23, 1961, has a significantly large audience of fans in the Arab world and abroad.

He began singing at the age of 10 in his hometown Kafroun and was discovered two years later by his first manager and producer George Yazbeck at a wedding.

At the age of 19, the singer became famous after appearing on the Lebanese show “Studio El Fan” in 1980.

He is one of the most successful Arab singers selling over 60 million records worldwide.

In 2021, a documentary titled “Masirati” (My Journey) highlighted the iconic musician’s career-defining moments and secrets he has never uncovered before.
