From Paris to Tabuk, and then to London, the Arab artist Mohammed Abdu continues his travels and attendance at events, but without singing; he is undergoing a treatment protocol until the end of next September that prevents him from singing or raising his voice, to protect his throat and complete a preventive medical procedure.

Poet Dr. Saleh Al-Shadi revealed, in an exclusive statement to ‘Okaz’, that medical instructions impose on Mohammed Abdu a commitment to vocal silence during this period, despite his good health and continued improvement of his condition, explaining that the matter is related to a precautionary phase that monitors his previous condition, and does not reflect a concerning health development.

Al-Shadi’s statement came from Tabuk, coinciding with the celebration of the return of the Emir of Tabuk region, Prince Fahd bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz, as Mohammed Abdu attended coming specially from France to participate in the occasion, before heading to London.

Despite his presence among a number of participating artists at the event, the voice of the Arab artist remained off the program; in implementation of medical recommendations that prevent him from singing or straining his vocal cords until the treatment protocol ends. The event witnessed the attendance of artists Rashid Al-Fares and Ayed, along with a number of artistic figures who participated in preparing and supervising the accompanying works.

Al-Shadi told ‘Okaz’: ‘Abu Abdulrahman is fine, his affairs are very good, his health is continuously improving, and what he is undergoing is a purely precautionary and preventive procedure, and he will soon return to his audience and fans at events and concerts.’

September does not seem just a date for the end of the suspension period, but rather the beginning of a new artistic phase; as Al-Shadi revealed several surprises and works currently being prepared, to see the light after the end of the treatment protocol, bringing Mohammed Abdu back to his audience after months of forced absence.
