Al-Taj News – The Lebanese artist Fadel Chaker recalled the most prominent moments of his return to the stage after an absence lasting about 14 years, through a video he posted on his official account on the “Instagram” platform, in which he documented poignant scenes from the two “Return of the Absent” concerts, which he performed on October 22 and 23, 2026, within the activities of Riyadh Season.
The video opened with backstage scenes preceding Chaker’s ascent to the stage, interspersed with heartbeat sound effects that reflected the atmosphere of anticipation prior to meeting his audience, leading up to his first appearance amid the cheers and applause of the attendees.
The footage showed the audience’s interaction with his songs and chanting their lyrics in an atmosphere where feelings of joy and emotion blended, while Chaker addressed the attendees saying: “We sing together and let the whole world hear… God bless you.”
Among the most prominent moments documented by the video was Fadel Chaker’s meeting with his son, the artist Mohamed Chaker, on stage, where the two exchanged an emotional hug before performing several songs together. The concert also witnessed the participation of the artist Nawal in a singing duet with Chaker, in one of the surprises of the two evenings.
Fadel Chaker accompanied the video with a message expressing his feelings following his return, saying: “Praise be to God… the dream has come true,” adding: “After 14 years, I stood on stage again. My heart was beating with every step… but as soon as I heard your voices, everything changed.”
