عمرو دياب و محمد عبده ونجوى كرم وعبد الله بالخير

قررت شركة روتانا تأجيل جميع الإصدارات حتى اشعار آخر دون تحديد اليوم او التاريخ الجديد لطرح البومات النجوم مثل محمد عبده ونجوى كرم وعمرو دياب وعبد الله بالخير حيث كان مقرراً طرحها خلال هذا الشهر وذكر موقع إيلاف أن الفنانة اللبنانية نجوى كرم لم تكن تعد البوما غنائياًَ كاملاً بل أغنية منفردة تحمل عنوان بحكيك مابحكيك وتم التأجيل بسبب تحويل الأغنية الى ديو مع الموسيقار ملحم بركات.

اما ألبوم فنان العرب محمد عبده فقد تم تأجيله بسبب استمرار الطلب على أغنيته الأخيرة «الأماكن» التي مازالت تحصد نجاحاً كبيراً في الوطن العربي ويحقق الالبوم نجاحا ملحوظاً.
وألبوم الفنان الإماراتي عبد الله بالخير والذي سيطلق عليه عنوان «البلخيريون 200 الف حبيب» تم تأجيله لاسباب غير معلومة لكن المتوقع ان يكون قد قام ببعض التغييرات او الإضافات على أغنيات الالبوم.

وعلى الرغم من ان اعلانات الحفل الكبير الذي سيحييه النجم عمرو دياب في دبي على مدرج ومسرح مدينة دبي الإعلامية مع بداية العام 2007، تروّج لسماع أغنيات جديدة للألبوم المنتظر «خليك معايا»، إلا انه تم تأجيله هو الآخر الى موعد غير محدد من دون ذكر الأسباب، مع العلم ان مواقع تحميل الإغنيات باتت تطرح مقتطفات ومقاطع من الاغنيات الجديدة للالبوم المقبل، وهو الالبوم الاخير لعمرو دياب مع شركة روتانا.

Amr Diab in mourning

Amr Diab has cancelled his concert tour in Germany scheduled for May 27 due to the sudden death of his life long friend Ashraf Foad, the drummer in his band.

The singer apologized to his German fans, stating that he did not want to perform out of respect for his dear friend.

Ashraf was playing squash with Amr, when Foad suffered a heart attack.

Before the tragedy, Diab was preparing to film a new music video “Wihkaytak Aih” (What Is Your Story) under the direction of Sharif Sabri, business manager of controversial singer Ruby. Filming was scheduled to begin in May.

The singer and the director refused to reveal any details regarding the clip, stressing they want to keep it a surprise for Amr’s fans.

Diab decided to screen his latest music video for the song “Wi Malo” (What If) in cinema houses across Egypt, a precedent for an Arab music video.

Amr filmed the clip in London with a budget of over 2 million Egyptian pounds under the direction of two international directors, who directed clips for Sting.

Critics have described the clip as one of the best in Arabic music history.
