Macron will visit the Lebanese artist upon his arrival Monday night at his home in Rabieh, near Inelias, north of Beirut, away from the lens of the media.
There were no comments from Fayrouz’s office in Lebanon or her daughter, Director Rima Rahbani.
Macron’s visit to Beirut is scheduled to continue until Tuesday, when he will visit neighborhoods affected by the blast and plant a cedar with Lebanese children northeast of Beirut.
Various artists and media professionals interacted with the announcement of a meeting with French President Fairouz.
Lebanese singer Melhem Zein said in a call with Reuters that the French president “will obtain the Medal of Honor for Fairouz’s rank through this meeting because the encounter with her will leave it on record in his record and will be remembered by public opinion more than any other political meeting. “
The French president concluded a visit to Beirut on August 7 and wrote in his tweet: “I love you, Lebanon”, which is the title of a famous song by Fayrouz, who has accompanied the Lebanese during the 15 years of the civil war .
Fayrouz has a strong friendship with France which was established in 1975 when she first appeared on French television on the show (Special Matteo) hosted by her friend, French artist Mireille Mathieu, and there was a song (My Love in the Summer) .
The relationship took a deeper shape during the Lebanese war when Fairouz threw a big party at the Paris Olympics in 1979 and sang (Paris, Oh Flower of Freedom).
Fayrouz received the highest French honors, including Commander of Arts and Letters from the late French President Francois Mitterrand in 1988, and the Legion of Knight Honor from the late President Jacques Chirac in 1998.
