After over two years of pain and undergoing treatment for cancer, Lebanese singer Alissa’s father passed away on February 25,2004. Alissa is currently experiencing a period of utter sadness over the loss of her father, whom is one of the closest people to her heart.
According to the London based Elaph, Alissa has headed to the old town of Deir Al Ahmar to be by the side of her family and present for the funeral. The singer has put a halt to all her entertainment activities during her period of mourning.
Before the unfortunate circumstances the singer is going through at the time, Alissa had revealed that she will be travelling to Dubai by the end of this month to hold a press conference for the launch of her latest promotional commercial for Rayban sunglasses. The singer added that during the beginning of April, she was planning to head off to the United States of America where she will hold a tour around five different states.
The singer was also in the process of making the final countdown for the release of the album “Ahla Dunia” (The Best World). The singer was able to achieve significant success in the Arab and abroad in such a short time. The new album will feature 13 songs, which Alissa chose very carefully to ensure listeners satisfaction.
Alissa has just returned from London where she took part in a special press conference held by Pepsi Cola Company, after receiving a special invitation. There were pop stars, cameras and lights, but the excitement wasn't for a movie premiere, but for the world debut of a Pepsi commercial — starring Britney Spears, Beyonce Knowles and Pink. –Albawaba.com
