Lebanese singer Fadel Chaker will perform his first concert in Saudi Arabia in 14 years at Riyadh Season on October 22. The show, titled Awdat Al Ghayeb or Return of the Absent, is named after his popular song Ya Ghayeb. Tickets will go on sale on Wednesday. Chaker will also appear before Lebanon's Permanent Military Court on October 21, a day before his Riyadh concert.
He was sentenced to 22 years in prison in 2020 for his support of radical cleric Ahmed Al Assir's armed group, but was recently released on bail. Chaker's career has spanned over two decades, with hits like Baya El Qolob, Aash Mn Shafak, and Ya Ghayeb solidifying his status as a regional star.
