Iconic International Lebanese singer Fairuz turned 91 on November 21st, 2025 (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/5ba2rsvh<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to L’Orient Today, Fairuz “had four children with her husband, composer Assi Rahbani, who died of a brain hemorrhage in 1986. In addition to Ziad and Hali, she is also the mother of Layal, who died in 1988, two years after Assi, at the age of 28 from a stroke, and Rima, who is now Fairuz’s only living child”<\/em> (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yc4yppmf<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, Fairuz lost her son Ziad a few months ago, namely in July 2025. Bambi has two older posts honouring this late GREAT artist (shown below). Back then, she had a thought for his grieving mom. Today, the latter is mourning again. Indeed, she lost her son Hali to whom she had been a devoted caregiver since he became severely disabled, at a young age, following meningitis. May God know how to comfort her shattered heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no parent should have to bury his or her children, Fairuz tragically went from one loss to another. Despite her pain, she remained true to herself with her stoic and dignified silence. What a lady. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In solidarity, across the miles, Bambi sends her and her daughter Rima\u2014a film director and a photographer\u2014 her heart once again, along with a prayer and two spiritual songs shared below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

May Hali’s memory be eternal… Blessings, and much love, to his inspiring mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
