queen impersonator Bassim Faghali has temporarily stopped all
performance to join the military. Bassim is to serve a mandatory one year
in the military according to Lebanese law, which states that all
males are to serve in the military.
Bassim had had to cancel all previously
scheduled appearances after he was called in. The impersonator has
gained popularity all over Lebanon and the Arab world for his talent
of impersonating artists mostly female singers during live concerts
or surprised television appearances on shows.
His most
appearances are on the weekly show "Sa'a Bi Qurb Al Habib" (An Hour
By My Lover's Side) that is aired on the Lebanese Broadcasting
Company (LBC) satellite channel, and is presented by Tony Khalifeh.
Bassim is hopeful that after his civil duty he will return to the
scenes and will pick up where he left off.
