Elissa broke hearts via twitter by announcing her plans to quit “similar to mafias” music industry. The Lebanese singing sensation is one of the biggest and brightest stars in the Arab world’s music scene, with an almost 30 year career in the industry.
She has also been the highest-selling female Middle Eastern artist since 2005. And, her fans are deeply rattled by the news
The star tweeted to announce her next (and apparently final album) and continued that she made the announcement to quit with a “heavy heart”, but “a lot of conviction.” Fans are eagerly awaiting the new album.
After going off the radar for a while, Elissa released a music video last year depicting her struggle with breast cancer.
