Al-Ruwaished's participation in the "Wounded Voice" honoring ceremony... presence or absence?

Kuwaiti star Abdullah Al-Ruwaished returned to his country last Thursday evening, after a treatment trip that lasted for more than six months abroad, due to a stroke.

Abdullah Al-Ruwaished returns to Kuwait after a long treatment trip Al-Ruwaished’s return has raised several questions about his ability to participate in the upcoming public concert as part of the “Riyadh Season” activities, which will be held in honor of the late great artist Abdul Karim Abdul Qader on February 25. While Al-Ruwaished is spending a period of convalescence at his home, attendance and participation in this concert remain under evaluation based on the development of his health condition.

Details of the ceremony honoring Abdul Karim Abdul Qader in the “Riyadh Season” The Saudi Entertainment Authority has announced the schedule of concerts for the “Riyadh Season,” including a tribute concert for the late Kuwaiti artist Abdul Karim Abdul Qader, known as “The Wounded Voice.” The concert will be held on February 25, to be the culmination of the season’s activities, which will end a few days before the holy month of Ramadan.

Although the concert was originally scheduled for last February, it was postponed due to Abdullah Al-Ruwaished's health crisis, as stated by Advisor Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of the Entertainment Authority in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Al-Ruwaished’s participation in “February Nights” and “Riyadh Season”: Presence or absence? So far, the Saudi Entertainment Authority has not announced the final names of the artists participating in the night honoring Abdul Karim Abdul Qader, but it is expected that the names will be the same as those previously announced, including Abdullah Al-Ruwaished, Nawal Al-Kuwaitia, Nabil Shuail, Majid Al-Mohandes, Ahlam, and others. However, the question remains open about Al-Ruwaished’s ability to fully participate in the concert, especially since he is currently undergoing physical therapy sessions for his right hand and foot, in addition to vocal training to regain his strength. His role in the concert may be limited to an honorary presence, in appreciation of his late companion Abdul Karim Abdul Qader, without singing.

His participation in the annual “February Nights” concerts in Kuwait has not yet been confirmed, which makes his fans eagerly await the return of their beloved star to the artistic scene.
