Lebanon's star singer Fairuz left the'Raqd Al -Sayeda' church in the town of al-Mhaydseh in Kafia following the funeral of her son, composer Ziad Rahbani, who died on Saturday at the age of 69. The star of Lebanon was seen walking in a slow pace, surrounded by her family and security personnel, while crowds of Rahbani's fans gathered outside to mourn the late singer. With tears, dancing and applause Rahbani's fans bid farewell to the beloved singer – simultaneously mourning his death while celebrating his life. The mourners celebrated by dancing to the tunes of his famous song 'Bala Wala Chi' in honor of his immortal artistic career and spirit. Among the most prominent attendants of the funerals were Carmen Labs, Julia Boutros, Magda al-Roumi, Najwa Karam, Heba Tuji, the first Lebanese lady Nemat Aoun, Rita Hayek, Marcel Khalife and singer Madonna.

Netflix and Shahid are now available through a single subscription in Saudi Arabia, following a new partnership between the streaming platform and MBC Group. This marks Netflix's first regional bundle deal in the Middle East and North Africa and includes access to both platforms through MBCNOW, MBC's content hub launched earlier this year. The package brings together Netflix's international catalogue and Shahid's Arabic-language content. MBCNOW will also include access to MBC's linear TV channels. The joint subscription is available both online and through major retailers in Saudi Arabia, with plans to roll out to the Gulf and wider region after the summer. Netflix's inclusion adds further content variety, with shows, films, documentaries, and live events. MBC Group says the bundle offers over 21% savings compared to individual subscriptions.
