<title>A Conflict between Diab, Wehbe and Husny over Summer Concerts!</title>

<body><![CDATA[ <p>The artistic arena is now busy with preparations for the summer concerts, which will be held on a larger scale this year in Egypt, due to the Lebanon crisis, which caused moving many concerts from Beirut to Cairo.</p><p><br>
&nbsp;Even though things in Lebanon have been peaceful for a while now, concerts are still going to be held in Egypt; after the contracts had already been changed.</p><p><br>
The thermometer of the summer concerts is considered to be school and university proms, which have become a season for concerts throughout the last few years. This year, Haifa Wehbe performed at the British University in Egypt, Tamer Husny at a number of different places, while Amr Diab usually passes on such events!</p><p><br>
It is also said that Dubai concerts could also be taken as a touchstone; Husnyâ€™s last concert witnessed the presence of 15 thousand fans (120 Dirhams per ticket), while Diabâ€™s had less than half this audience (800 Dirhams per ticket).</p><p>&nbsp;
<br>
However, one of the most important things being whispered from one organizer to another, is the conflict taking place between Diab and Wehbe over the summer concerts. Such conflict is said not be merely over the audience, but also over the payment.</p><p><br>
Diab demands that he gets 200 thousand L.E per concert, while Wehbe demanded 150 thousand. However, Husny, who has not been part of any conflict in the first place, reached 300 thousand L.E, from which he usually assigns 100 thousand for the setting and techniciansâ€™ wages.</p><p><br>
So, it could be Said that Diab conquered both: Wehbe in Egypt, and Husny in the Arab World; for Husny, who is paid more in Egypt, is less paid than Diab in the Gulf concerts!</p><p><br>
Another conflict between Diab and Wehbe is taking place on Facebook. Diab has 17 groups, while Wehbe only has 16. Husny, on the other hand has 24. Such groups could either be fans, maniacs or even haters!</p>]]></body>
